Intended 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

Examination and completion

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

Grading scale

A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Examination

  • KON1 - Examination, 2.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
  • KON2 - Examination, 2.0 credits, grading scale: P, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

Other requirements for final grade

Two written control tests (KON1; 2 cr.), (KON2; 2 cr.)
One written examination (TEN1; 3,5 cr.).

Opportunity to complete the requirements via supplementary examination

Ethical approach

  • All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
  • In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
  • In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
