Class Objectives
/Class Outline
How does electromagnetic theory tie together such broad phenomena as electronics, radio waves, and light ? Explaining this question in the context of electronics design especially radio frequency (RF) circuits and high-speed digital systems, it is the objective of this class to build the confidence and skills to tackle real-world problems. By developing an understanding of the fundamental physics, you can intuitive feel for how electromagnetic phenomena occur.
