ELEC-E4710 - Computational Electromagnetics D, Lecture, 27.2.2023-7.6.2023

Guest access
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.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

After the course, the student will understand the basic principles of two popular numerical analysis methods in electromagnetics. She/he recognizes the strengths and weaknesses of the methods and is able to evaluate their suitability for solving practical engineering problems. The student learns how to implement (with MATLAB) solvers for simple example problems and to use these solvers to find solutions for electromagnetic and electrical engineering design problems. He/she will utilize problem-solving processes and learns to report and document his/her results.

CONTENT, ASSESSMENT AND WORKLOAD

Content

  • valid for whole curriculum period:

    The course focuses on the fundamentals of the frequency domain finite element method (FEM) and integral equation method (the method of moments, MoM). The course gives students theoretical background of the methods and considers practical implementation and application oriented issues, such as MATLAB programming of FEM and MoM solvers  and their application in waveguide eigenmode analysis, S-parameter determination of multiport structures, and computation of scattering cross sections of arbitrary scatterers, and antenna radiation patterns.

Assessment Methods and Criteria

  • valid for whole curriculum period:

    Homework exercises, hands-on MATLAB exercises, project works, reports, literature study, and/or seminar presentations. Evaluation criteria will be specified at the beginning of the course.

Workload

  • valid for whole curriculum period:

    Contact hours 44 h (2 h lectures per week, 10 weeks; 2 h exercises per week, 10 weeks; project work 2 x 2 h). Independent work 91 h.
