Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
Intended learning outcomes
After completion of the course the student shall be able to
- explain the constitutive relations for various complex media
- explain the concepts of reciprocal and non‐reciprocal media
- derive dispersion relations for complex media and determine the wavenumbers and polarization states for the eigenwaves
- analyze scattering at canonical interfaces between complex and simple media and between different complex media

Examination and completion
Grading scale
P, F
Examination
- EXA1 - Examination, 4.0 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.
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Two home‐assignments:
- Eigenwave analysis of one reciprocal and one non‐reciprocal media. Topics depending on interest, e.g. birefringerent crystals; ferrites; plasmas; Faraday media; chiral media.
- Scattering of radiation from a line source in front of a layered structure. Topic depending on interest, e.g. lens; polarizer; reflector; absorber; etc.
Other requirements for final grade
Satisfactory performance in all home‐assignments. Oral presentation of one assignment.
Examiner
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.
