EEL6482 Electromagnetic Theory: Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science

The document contains 26 homework problems related to electromagnetic theory and waveguides. Problem 20 involves finding the frequency range, group delay, and output signal expression for a rectangular waveguide of specific dimensions operating in its dominant TE10 mode. Problem 21 examines the material properties and transformer design for the same waveguide when filled with lossy polystyrene. Problem 22 provides the equations to solve for the fields of TM modes in a waveguide with perfect magnetic conductor walls.
