Course summary
The discipline concerned with the interaction of electromagnetic waves with materials. Applications of electromagnetics include microwave circuits (used in satellite communication systems, mobile/cellular radios, aeronautical navigation instruments), optical fiber communication systems, radar (tracking, imaging, guidance), radio astronomy, antennas (single and phased arrays), transmission lines and waveguides. Also, radio frequency (RF) signals and microwaves are used in numerous industrial, scientific and medical applications. These include: RF and microwave induced hyperthermia for cancer therapy, drying, sterilization, thawing and curing of materials (including the cooking of food!).
Program modules
The following are the modules: ECE 271 Electromagnetic Theory ( alt F) [ECE 53L], ECE 272 Electromagnetic Communication Systems (Sp) [ECE 53L], ECE 273 Optical Communication Systems (F) [ECE 53L and 54L], ECE 275 Microwave Electronic Circuits (Sp) [ECE 53L], ECE 277 Computational Electromagnetics (F) [ECE 53L], ECE 279 Waves in Matter (Sp) [ECE 53L].
Entry requirement for international students
Applicants for admission must complete either the College Board Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) or the test of the American College Program (ACT). Applicants taking the SAT should take the three-part SAT Reasoning Test plus two SAT subject tests. Applicants to the Pratt School of Engineering must take one SAT Subject Test in mathematics. Applicants who choose to take the ACT should plan to take the ACT with the new writing portion. A minimum score of 100 on the internet-based TOEFL (iBT) or 250 on the computer-based TOEFL (CBT) or 600 on the paper-based TOEFL (PBT) or an overall band score of 7 on the IELTS is expected for all applicants to Duke.
Duke University accepts IELTS*
