| | 5. | COURSE OBJECTIVES |
| | Students will become familiar with the following topics in electromagnetic (EM) theory: |
| | 1. Wiener-Hopf methods for solving a class of EM problems for which other analytical methods fail. (Criterion 3(a)) |
| | 2. Development of asymptotic ray and wave optical solutions for the analysis of EM wave problems at high frequencies. |
| | These solutions will also provide a simple physical picture for EM wave radiation and scattering. (Criterion 3(a)) |
| | 3. Asymptotic high frequency methods to solve a wide variety of electrically large EM antenna and scattering problems of |
| | practical interest. (Criterion 3(a)) |
