CHAPTER 0. COURSE INTRODUCTION/OVERVIEW
0.4 Instructor Policies
� Homework papers are due at the start of class
� If business travel or similar activities prevent you from attend-ing class and turning in your homework, please inform me be-forehand to see if we can work something out
� Grading is done on a straight 90, 80, 70, ... scale with curvingbelow these thresholds if needed
� Homework solutions will be placed on the course Web site inPDF format with security password required; hints pages mayalso be provided

0.5. THE USE OF SOFTWARE TOOLS
0.5 The Use of Software Tools
� Computer analysis and simulation tools play a vital role in allengineering courses
� Analysis aids from low level to high level include:
– Calculator, e.g., TI89 (good practice for exams)
– Excel or similar spreadsheet program for calculations andplotting (more powerful than you might think)
– Mathematica (free for UCCS students on your own ma-chine) for symbolic and numerical calculations (there is alearning curve, but you may have used in the past)
– Python/PyLab (Jupyter (was IPython) Notebook or QTcommand line interface) with NumPy and matplotlib (Py-Lab), and SciPy very powerful, and free; (command lineinterface similar to MATLAB); notebook will be used inclass demos and a personal favorite since open source
– MATLAB (now free for UCCS students on your own ma-chine)
– LTspice for transmission line simulation + lumped ele-ments + generators, transient and AC frequency sweep;will use in Chapter 2
– ADS (advanced design system), a very powerful microwavecentric design tool from Keysight (formerly Agilent); notplanning on using for this course
– HFSS (high frequency structure simulator) a powerful elec-tromagnetic fields and waves simulator; not planning onusing for this course

CHAPTER 0. COURSE INTRODUCTION/OVERVIEW
0.6 The EM I/EM II course sequence andMicrowave Measurements Lab
� Traditionally the two semesters of EM were static fields insemester one and dynamic or time varying fields in semestertwo
� Here at UCCS the text has been chosen to take a significanttime-varying fields topic and move it into the first semester;what could that be? transmission lines
� That leaves a lot of other fun and important topics for EM IIsuch as
– The full form of Maxwell’s equations
– Plane-wave propagation
– Wave reflection and transmission
– Radiation and antennas
– Satellite communication systems (in EM?) and Radar sen-sors
� The microwave measurements lab is a natural companion toEM II, as with time-varying fields in full swing, measurementsusing tools such as an RF/microwave signal generator, spec-trum analyzer, power meter, and network analyzer fit into place
� Furthermore the use of an anechoic chamber makes sense too(want a free-space like environment to compare theory withmeasured), likewise a screen/shielded room that is relativelyfree of external RF/microwave sources (signals)

0.7. EM IN THE CLASSICAL ERA
0.7 EM in the Classical Era
The topic of engineering electromagnetics (EM) is rooted in bothphysics and mathematics. The majority of what goes on in thiscourse plays into your knowledge of these subjects. Circuit theory isalso critical to the understanding of the course.
The authors divide the history of EM into the classical era andmodern era (last 100 years). Well known names include:
� Coloumb: Electrical force between two charges
� Volta: Electric battery
� Ampère: Parallel currents in wires make then attract
� Biot & Savart: Relate magnetic field induced by wire segmentsto the current flowing through it
� Ohm: Relates electric potential to current and resistance
� Henry: Introduces concept of inductance
� Faraday: Changing magnetic flux and electromotive force
� Gauss: Relates electric flux through an enclosed surface to en-closed electric charge
� Maxwell: Four equations that are the foundation of classicalelectromagnetic theory
� Hertz: Electromagnetic radio waves

0.9. DR WICKERT’S INTERETS
0.9 Dr Wickert’s Interets
� Communications (wireless)
– The RF/microwave portion of radio transmitters and re-ceivers is also included here
– I developed the microwave circuits course ECE 4250/5250(see course Web site)
� Signal processing
– Digital signal processing is my main focus
– Analog signal processing is also of great interest
– Early in my career I was involved with the electronics be-hind a 1 Gbps free-space optical communications system;wideband microwave circuit design played a critical role

CHAPTER 0. COURSE INTRODUCTION/OVERVIEW
A three line directionalcoupler (stripline) provides an important part of the receiver
The output waveformsfrom the dual striplinecombiner
Bit decisions on theA(t) and B(t) signalpaths are made everyTs seconds (2 ns) orat a 500 MHz rate
Additional performanceimprovement is obtainedby including the CostasLoop pulse demutliplexers
Here performance improvement is lowerprobability of bit error
Two of the three linecouplers plus onetransmission lineinverter complete thedesign
