Course Overview

Electromagnetic theory is the bedrock of modern defense systems — from radar and EW to satellite communications and directed energy. This course builds rigorous, practitioner-level fluency in EM fundamentals so you can analyze, design, and troubleshoot real-world RF systems with confidence.

What You'll Learn
Understand Maxwell's equations in integral and differential form
Analyze wave propagation in free space, guided media, and complex environments
Characterize antenna behavior: gain, directivity, polarization, and radiation patterns
Apply Friis transmission equation and path loss models
Evaluate near-field vs. far-field conditions for system design
Interpret EM interference, shielding effectiveness, and EMC principles
