Understanding and visu alizing EM wave – object interaction is crucial in designing new antenna systems\, in predicting path losses through complex propagation paths\, e tc. In order to do that wave pieces such as diffracted waves\, Fringe wave s\, etc.\, should first be studied on canonical structures. Then\, complex objects can be investigated by using HFA as well as numerical methods in hybrid form intelligently.\n\nEM wave scattering from waves – objects in teraction has long been investigated. Interesting wave phenomena\, diffrac tion\, occur when objects have sharp edges and tips. Methods known as High Frequency Asymptotics\, such as Geometric optics (GO)\, Physical Optics\, (PO)\, Geometrical Theory of Diffraction\, (GTD)\, Uniform Theory of Diff raction (UTD)\, Physical Theory of Diffraction (PTD) and Theory of Edge Di ffraction (TED) have been successfully applied to variety of EM problems. Recently\, numerical methods\, such as Finite Difference time Domain (FDTD )\, Method of Moments (MoM) and Finite Element Method (FEM) have also been used in modeling EM diffraction. These powerful methods\, together with n ovel approaches\, have shown to be successful not only in modeling EM diff raction but also in distinguishing wave pieces such as scattered waves\, d iffracted waves\, Fringe waves\, etc.\, which is very important in visuali zing and understanding complex wave – object interaction.\n\nThis short course will review all these approaches\, use recently developed EM virtua l tools and present comparisons through canonical examples.\n\nLecture 2\n \nELECTROMAGNETIC GUIDED WAVE THEORY\n\nThis IEEE AP-S DL talk discusses g uided wave theory (GWT). This theory is important in teaching EM. In most of these problems such as transmission lines\, 2D parallel plate waveguide s\, 3D rectangular and/or circular cross-section wavegudies analytical exa ct solutions are known. This is specifically important in (i) understandin g the problem and gaining physical insight\, (ii) generating reference dat a for measurements and numerical simulations. An undergrad-level GWT can b e taught by first decomposing Maxwell equations into transverse and longit udinal components and discussing Sturm-Liouville equation in 1D\; establis hing characteristic relations between source-free (homogeneous) and source -driven (inhomogeneous) representations. Then\, orthogonality and complete ness can be summarized. As a canonical structure\, mathematical details of 2D parallel plate waveguide with non-penetrable boundaries can be given. The formation of longitudinal correlation function and the steps of eigenv alue extraction procedure can be explained. A few other guiding problems m ay also be included. In the grad-level\, the Ray-mode representations insi de the 2D parallel plate waveguide may be taught. Details of alternative i ntegral representations and derivations by contour deformations\, residue series\, etc.\, on various complex-planes can be discussed. MATLAB-based v irtual tool RAYMODE can be used to visualize effects of rays\, modes indiv idually and in hybrid form on various user-specified scenarios.\n\nSpeaker (s): Prof. Dr. Levent Sevgi \, \n\nAgenda: \n2:30 - 3:30 pm Lecture 1\n\n3 :30 - 4:00 pm *Tea/Coffee break\n\n4:00 - 5:00 pm Lecture 2\n\n*Refreshmen ts will be served.\n\nRoom: Brown Room\, Bldg: Electrical & Electronic Eng ineering Department\, University of Melbourne\, 1\, 100 Grattan St\, Parkv ille\, Melbourne\, Victoria\, Australia\, 3010 LOCATION:Room: Brown Room\, Bldg: Electrical & Electronic Engineering Depar tment\, University of Melbourne\, 1\, 100 Grattan St\, Parkville\, Melbour ne\, Victoria\, Australia\, 3010 ORGANIZER:fatemeh.babaeian@ieee.org SEQUENCE:7 SUMMARY:Special Distinguished Lecturer Workshop by Prof. Dr. Levent Sevgi URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/322530 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>This face-to-face workshop consists of two IEEE AP-S distinguished lecturer talks with details as follows.&nbsp\;</p >\n<p><strong>Lecture 1: </strong></p>\n<p><strong>ELECTROMAGNETIC DIFFRAC TION MODELING AND SIMULATION</strong></p>\n<p>EM diffraction is critical i n many applications including antennas and propagation.
