The RF Systems and Microwave Remote Sensing area deals with the generation, transmission, propagation, scattering and reception of electromagnetic waves applied to telecommunications and remote sensing. Telecommunications applications include radio frequencies, microwave and millimeter-wave systems and circuits, antenna theory and design and electromagnetic wave propagation and scattering. Remote sensing applications include the design and use of passive and active sensors to gather information on the physical properties of natural and artificial media, as well as the interaction of the electromagnetic waves with such objects. The courses required in the area are described in this table. Required Elective (RE) courses indicate that the student must take at least two of these courses prior to taking the Capstone course.
