Outline of lecture

Electromagnetic waves are used for broadcast, communications, and sensing in a great variety of frequency ranges which include microwave, millimeter-wave and optical frequency regions. The lecture explains the theory that is used for designing RF circuits based on guided waves.

Purpose of lecture

The lecture is focused on the guided wave theory and its application to the design of guided wave circuit in microwave, millimeter-wave and optical frequency regions. Topics included are electromagnetic fields in waveguides, the dispersion and nonlinearity of optical fibers, a coupled mode theory, electromagnetic waves in a periodic structure, scattering matrix representation, eigen excitation, and the design of guided wave circuits.
