Demonstration of electromagnetic polarization app on iPad

Teaching and Learning Electromagnetic Plane Wave Reflection and Transmission Using 3D TV [Education Corner]

“…With the recent wide availability of mobile devices, such kind of software could be extended for these handheld devices such as pads and phones. This is in line with our previous efforts to enhance teaching and learning of EM topics on microwave transmission line circuits [7], [8] and polarization [9], [10] by leveraging on the affordances of mobile devices. Compared to computers, mobile devices provide more effective touch-based interactivity and more importantly, they allow seamless teaching and learning anytime, anywhere.…”

Teaching and Learning Electromagnetic Polarization Using Mobile Devices [Education Corner]

“…It also enables the professor to illustrate many wave polarization topics effectively through various interactive features. In our preliminary work, the app has been demonstrated to feature 2D visualization of wave polarization [19]. Hereby, it has been extended to include 3D visualization, where various polarizations could now be explained better with the aid of both 2D and 3D animations.…”

Fundamental Implicit FDTD Schemes for Computational Electromagnetics and Educational Mobile Apps (Invited Review)

“…By using the respective auxiliary field relations in their fundamental implicit schemes with similar forms, one can show the equivalence among them readily as in Eqs. 7, (9) and (11). Therefore, the fundamental implicit schemes constitute the basis of unification for many implicit schemes, providing insights into their inter-relations (or equivalence) along with simplifications, concise updates and efficient implementations.…”

“…Exploiting the wide accessibility of mobile devices, several educational mobile apps have been created for enhanced teaching and learning of electromagnetics [9][10][11][12][13][14]. They provide touch-based interactivity and real-time EM+circuit simulations as well as 2-D/3-D visualizations of wave phenomena.…”

“…We have developed several educational mobile apps, e.g., MuStripKit, EMpolarization, EMwaveRT, etc. (some on App/Play Store) [9][10][11][12][13][14], which are incorporated with innovative CEM that could run efficiently on mobile devices (smartphones/ipads, supplementable with 3-D displays). Exploiting the wide affordances of mobile devices, these mobile apps are useful for quick initial design, analysis and seamless teaching/learning anytime, anywhere.…”
