Electromagnetic Waves in Electrical Engineering: Uses

AI Thread Summary
Electromagnetic waves are essential in electrical engineering, primarily for wireless communications, including FM radio, cellular networks, TV, satellite communications, and remote controls. They transmit information as electrical and magnetic disturbances through the air over distances. The use of EM waves simplifies signal processing and communication tasks significantly. Additionally, they are involved in regular AC transmission through wires and waveguides. Overall, EM waves play a crucial role in modern electrical engineering applications.

What are the Electromagnetic Waves used for in Electrical Engineering?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
The EM waves are mainly used for wireless communications in EE. Examples include FM radio, cellular network in mobile, TV, satellite communications, wireless remote controls, etc.

EM waves is used as a means to transmit information in the form of electrical and magnetic diturbances in the air through distances. Without EM waves in EE applications, signal processing and communications would not be so easy.

Very much also for regular AC transmission through wires and waveguides.
 
Do you wish to know what kinds of things undergo oscillitory motion?
 

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
