Introduction to the theory of waves: plane waves and guided waves. Fundamentals of wave propagation and radiation fundamentals. Ability to understand the mechanisms of propagation and transmission of electromagnetic waves and their corresponding transmitter devices and receptors. Study and characterization of the primary acoustic signals. Study of the transmission of both flat and spherical acoustic waves, considering free field and confined spaces.

CB1: Students have demonstrated possession and understanding of knowledge in an area of study that builds on the foundation of general secondary education, and is usually at a level that, while relying on advanced textbooks, also includes some aspects that involve knowledge from the cutting edge of their field of study. CB2: Students are able to apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional manner and possess the competences usually demonstrated through the development and defence of arguments and problem solving within their field of study. CG3: Knowledge of basic and technological subject areas which enable acquisition of new methods and technologies, as well as endowing the technical engineer with the versatility necessary to adapt to any new situation. ECRT8: Ability to understand the mechanisms of electromagnetic and acoustic wave propagation and transmission, and their corresponding transmitting and receiving devices. RA1: To acquire the knowledge and understanding of the general basic fundamentals of engineering, as well as, in particular, of multimedia communications networks and services, audio and video signal processing, room acoustic control, distributed multimedia systems and interactive multimedia applications specific to Sound and Image Engineering within the telecommunications family. RA5: Be competent to apply the knowledge acquired to solve problems and design audiovisual networks and services, to configure their devices, as well as to deploy adaptive, personal audiovisual applications and services on them, bringing network intelligence to the value for the user, maximising the potential of multimedia networks and services in the different social and economic spheres, knowing the environmental, commercial and industrial implications of the practice of engineering in accordance with professional ethics.

Four types of training activities are proposed: Lectures , problem classes, labs and interactive online content. ECTS credits in all cases include the share of staff or team work by the student . THEORY LESSONS (3 ECTS) Theory classes will be lectures on board with using transparencies or other media to illustrate certain concepts . These classes are supplemented by explanations actual examples of applied electromagnetism and professional sound systems . Through these sessions students will acquire the basic content of the course. The student , based on the explanations of teachers, should deepen the concepts explained , solving and developing cases that will arise in lectures . Problems ( 1.25 ECTS) For the class of problems (face-to-face teaching in small groups) , students will have in advance of the relevant statements. In this type of class students will be organized into small groups so actively involved in solving problems . Problem solving by students will serve to assimilate the concepts presented in class theory in a more applied context and self-assess their knowledge. The kinds of problems include pooling of individual solutions and joint correction, which should serve to consolidate knowledge and develop the ability to analyze and communicate the relevant information for troubleshooting. PRACTICES ( 1 ECTS ) The practice sessions will be conducted online. Basically consist of demonstrations of basic concepts in the laboratory and computers, in which the student participates actively . Practices are held by computer , preferably using Matlab, and have the following contents: Practice 1: SIMPLE HARMONIC MOTION. - Addition of signal levels Practice 2: SPHERICAL WAVES. - Constructive and destructive fields emitted by ideal point source (concept of radiation pattern of an array of isotropic sources) contributions . Practice 3 : PLANE WAVES Part I: Diagram standing wave at normal incidence . Part II : Polarization of plane waves . Practice 4: GUIDED WAVES Part I: Brillouin diagram and impedance mode. Part II : Analysis of TEmn modes for a traveling wave ( lossless case ) . ONLINE CONTENT (0.75 ECTS): -complementary material -interactive activities
