Electromagnetic fields

Course objectives

GENERAL Knowledge of the main topics of applied electromagnetics (fundamental features of the electromagnetic fields in time and frequency domain for free-space and in the matter, wave propagation and plane waves, transmission lines, guided-wave propagation, radiation), which also constitute the ground for subsequent specialized courses in the same scientific sector. SPECIFIC • Knowledge and understanding: to get the fundamentals on the electromagnetic-field propagation features and the relevant use in electronic systems for information and communication technology (ICT). • Applying knowledge and understanding: to acquire and manage the basic analysis methods for the comprehension of the behavior of electromagnetic fields in free-space and in waveguides to transfer information. • Making judgements: (none) • Communication skills: to be able to describe the features and the analytical methods for the use of the electromagnetic fields in ICT systems. • Learning skills: capability in facing developments and further in-depth analysis on topics involving applied electromagnetics in the area of the information engineering.
