Early Introduction of Transmission Lines: Transmission lines constitute a natural bridge between electric circuits and electromagnetics. By introducing transmission lines early, students can use familiar concepts to learn about many of the properties of wave propagation in a guided structure.
UPDATED Real-world Applications: Expanded Technology Briefs connect electromagnetic fundamental concepts to their countless real-world engineering and scientific applications.
UPDATED Hands-on Simulations: A set of 10 additional interactive simulation modules, bringing the total to 52 web-based simulation modules, allow the user to interactively analyze and design transmission line circuits; generate spatial patterns of the electric and magnetic fields induced by charges and currents; visualize in 2-D and 3-D space how the gradient, divergence, and curl operate on spatial functions; observe the temporal and spatial waveforms of plane waves propagating in lossless and
Mathematical Explanations of Physical Concepts: Emphasis is placed on using the mathematics to explain and clarify the physics, followed by practical examples intended to demonstrate the engineering relevance of physical concepts.
