Description of contents: programme

This is a classical course of applied electromagnetics where starting from Maxwell equations the student will carefully analyze some of its particular solutions: plane waves, guided waves and an introduction to radiated waves. The characterization of wave propagation in the different cases will be one of the main aspects of the course. The course is divided in 4 units: 1: The electromagnetic model: Maxwell equations 2: Electromagnetic propagation in an free medium: plane waves 3: Propagation in confined media: guided waves 4: Introduction to electromagnetic radiation

Learning activities and methodology

The following activities will be combined as described in the detailed program of the course: 1- Theory lectures in the blackboard and with slides. Resolution of small exercises 2- Problems 3- Labs (two labs in computer room) 4- Office hours 5- Proposed exercises with solutions will be published in each chapter for self-studying.

Assessment System

% end-of-term-examination 60
% of continuous assessment (assigments, laboratory, practicals...) 40

Calendar of Continuous assessment

Global exam at the end of the semester (60% of the final grade (6 points)).
  Theory exam (without books or notes): test and/or short questions together with 
  problems.

The last 40% will be obtained by the continuous evaluation (4 points). Two midterm exams (15% each) and four labs  (10% in total) evaluated with a test after the lab.

A minimum of 4 points in the final exam is required to overcome the subject.
