Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

CONTENT, ASSESSMENT AND WORKLOAD

Content
  • Valid 01.08.2020-31.07.2022:

    Complex vectors, dyadics, field equations, field transformations, electromagnetic field solutions, source equivalence.

  • Applies in this implementation:

    We will study fundamental properties of electromagnetic fields and analytical methods for studies of electromagnetic phenomena. This knowledge forms the foundation of moderns radio science and engineering.

Assessment Methods and Criteria
  • Valid 01.08.2020-31.07.2022:

    Homework exercises, project work.

  • Applies in this implementation:

    Grading will be determined by the results of the course examination (answering a set of conceptual questions), quizzes, exercises, and lecture pre-assigments.

Workload
  • Valid 01.08.2020-31.07.2022:

    Contact hours 48 h (2 x 2 h per week, 12 weeks). Independent work 87 h.
