Electromagnetic Wave Theory

Four 1.5 hour lectures (lectures 19 to 22) on electromagnetic wave theory, antennas, and radar were presented in the classroom at MIT campus.

Lecture Date    Title    Lecturer    Brief Description
April 25, 2013   Dyadic and Scalar Green's Functions, Hertzian Dipole Antennas   Dr. Alan J. Fenn   The theory of Green's functions is used to determine the electromagnetic fields in the presence of source current distributions.  The electromagnetic field theory for Hertzian electric and magnetic dipole antennas is described.
April 30, 2013   Electromagnetic Wave Polarization for Antennas, Linear Dipole Arrays   Dr. Alan J. Fenn   The theory of electromagnetic wave polarization of antennas is reviewed.   The electromagnetic field theory for arrays of linear dipole antennas is described.
May 2, 2013   Linear Antennas and Arrays Including the Method of Moments   Dr. Alan J. Fenn   Linear antenna elements (dipoles and monopoles) and arrays including mutual coupling effects are described.
May 7, 2013   Phased Arrays and RADAR   Dr. Alan J. Fenn   Phased array antenna theory and architectures, including RADAR basics are described.
