easilyperceived directly. In addition, the vector relationship between the fields and theircorresponding responses in a medium is even harder to ‘see’. This non-intuitive nature of E&Mfields has been consistently one of the main obstacles for generations of engineering students intheir study of optics and E&M wave theories. On the other hand, optics and E&M wave theoriesare now becoming key components of core engineering knowledge as they have becomeincreasingly important in modern industries and electrical engineering practices. Optical fibernetworks, for example, are the backbone of the Internet and voice communications. Optical fibercommunications relies heavily on photonic and opto-electronic technologies.

applying wireless technologies in medicalapplications. A diverse range of medical services can be supported by current wirelesstechnologies. For example, body sensor networks can be formed by placing low-power wirelessdevices on or around the body, enabling long-term monitoring of physiological signs.1 Thecollected data can be passed onto the Internet through a PDA, a cell-phone, or a home computer.The caregivers thus have remote access to the patient’s health status. If the physical activities ofpatients can be monitored reliably at home and at a low cost, it will have a tremendous effect onreducing the gap between the need and the capability of the current health care systems.Among the available wireless standards, IEEE 802.15.4 is especially
