Electromagnetics Laboratory: Spectrum From Radio to Photonics

3 units

Engineering electromagnetics focuses on applying electromagnetic theory to modern technologies including communication, sensing, imaging and medical engineering. This laboratory course provides students with hands-on and practical exposure to the topics covering the electromagnetic spectrum from microwave to optics. Weekly labs will cover topics such as the following: microwave propagation and coupling, transmission line, antenna, RF circuits, basic optoelectronic devices, Fourier optics, light microscopy, holography, light polarization, electro-optics and fiber optics. Students are expected to carry out tests and measurements; analyze, interpret and present experiment data; learn how to perform engineering analysis and design when electromagnetic principles are applied; and gain in-depth understanding of the physics and mathematics underlying the techniques.
