Obiettivi formativi

The course aim is to provide basic concepts and techniques of Applied Electromagnetics, together with its most relevant applications in electronics engineering. Moving from the unavoidable theoretical background (basically Maxwell's Equations and their solutions) required for deeply understanding the generation and propagation of electromagnetic waves in different environments, the course of Antennas and Radiopropagation gives the students basic tools for designing transmission lines, radio-links, antennas, as well as concepts to evaluate quantitatively the interaction of electromagnetic fields with single/multi-layer metallo-dielectric structures, anisotropic media, cold plasma etc.


Modalità di svolgimento dell'insegnamento

The course includes both theoretical lectures and laboratories.


Prerequisiti richiesti

- Intermediate knowledge of Integral and Differential Calculus for multivariable vector and scalar functions.

- Intermediate knowledge of General Physics II (Electrostatics, Magnetostatics and Optics).

- Basic knowledge of Circuit Theory and Signal Processing.



Frequenza lezioni

Although lecture attendance is not mandatory, it is strongly recommended.
