Maxwell's Equations

Updated June 19, 2009

It is about time we got around to putting these famous equations up here!

Maxwell, of course, is in our Microwave Hall of Fame.

Here's a pithy remark concerning this topic from Kevin, which we modified into a Who Wants to Be a Millionaire multiple choice question:

"Unless he is a _____________, they are the first things a EE forgets after he gets his degree."

A. masochist

B. antenna designer

C. EM software entrepreneur

D. Hip-hop star

Without revealing the answer, let's just say there aren't too many microwave engineers out there that use calculus on a daily basis. But in order to understand many microwave problems, at least you'll need to know the boundary conditions for Maxwell's equations. More to come, we promise! Anyone want to help us out?

In the mean time, you can go to our book page and order up a copy of Pozar...
