Supervisor:
Department of Electromagnetic Field
Synopsis:

The course presents advanced topics of classical electromagnetic field theory, especially: electric and magnetic vector potential; reciprocity, duality, and equivalence principle; Green's function; multipole expansion; scattering and characteristic modes; homogenization and Bloch's theorem; synthesis and topological optimization

The knowledge gained in this course can be used in many branches of applied electromagnetism, especially in antenna theory and microwave circuit design.

Requirements:

The knowledge of electromagnetic field theory within the extent of master courses AE8B17EMTA and AE8B17ELD is assumed.

Syllabus of lectures:

1) Macroscopic electromagnetism, homogenization, macroscopic description of periodic distributions of matter, artificial materials

2) Sources of electromagnetic field, electromagnetic potentials

3) Conservation of energy, momentum, and angular momentum in an electromagnetic field

4) Electromagnetic reciprocity - description

5) Electromagnetic reciprocity - consequences

6) Volume equivalent and field-integral equations

7) Surface equivalent

8) Babinet's principle

9) Dyadic Green's function

10) Spectral decomposition of Green's function

11) Electromagnetic scattering on electrically small objects, scattering cross-sections

12) General electromagnetic scattering, scattering dyadic, transition matrix

13) Characteristic modes

14) Structural synthesis of electromagnetic devices, topology optimization, fundamental limitations

Syllabus of tutorials:

No exercises
