FEI3301 Waveguiding Methods 5.0 credits
Information for research students about course offerings
In 2023 this course is offered in coordination with the master level course EI2410.
Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
- decomposition of the fields and Maxwell's equations in isotropic media
- analysis of propagating and non-propagating TM, TE & TEM modes in metallic waveguides
- waveguides with rectangular and circular cross sections
- application of modortogonality in excitation from sources and in energy transport
- the mode matching method for analyzing scattering at discontinuities
- analysis of attenuation and coupling between waveguide modes
- analysis of resonance cavities, orthogonality relationship, losses and bandwidth
- flat dielectric waveguides and optical fibers
- analysis of quasi-TEM modes in multi-conductor systems.
Intended learning outcomes
After passing the course, the student shall be able to
- solve parts of problems from most of the course content
in order to be able to use the electromagnetic laws in combination with mathematical methods to solve electromagnetic field problems.

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.
