Learning outcomes

The course gives the connection between electric and magnetic fields and explains the generation, propagation and receiving of electromagnetic waves in varios media.

When the students have passed the course, they shall be able to

  • use Maxwells equations to calculate fields from dynamic charge/current distributions
  • analyse plane waves in lossless and lossy media
  • analyse TEM waves in transmission lines
  • analyse EM-waves in waveguide
  • explain the meaning of retardation
  • analyse antennas and radiating system
  • calculate fields from antennas and antenna systems

Course main content

Lectures
