Objectives of the Course	Developing a theoretical background on advanced electromagnetic theory. Designing parameters of wave equations and relations Analyzing advanced theorems and derived equations. Discussing on advanced electromagnetic theory and theorems.
Course Content	The course content aims to increase students’ competencies of advanced electromagnetic theory and theorems. Starting from Maxwell’s equations and constitutive relations various theorems and techniques are presented including Poynting’s theorem, image theory, Babinet’s and Huygen’s principles and so on. Applications of these theorems and methods are also introduced with help of exemplary problems in the areas of wave radiation and propagation together with power and current flows. The cylindrical and spherical wave functions, which are not found in other electromagnetics courses, are included in this course.
