About

About the course

Course content

Mathematical treatment of electromagnetic and acoustic waves. Transmission line equations. Characteristic impedance. Reflection and transmission coefficients. Waves with harmonic variation. Dispersion, phase and group velocity. Electromagnetic and acoustic waves in free space. Planar, cylindrical and spherical waves. Field equations in waveguides. TEM, TE and TM waves. Antennas.

Learning outcome

The course will give a fundamental understanding of propagation of electromagnetic and acoustic waves. This knowledge will be applied to simple problems regarding excitation, detection, and propagation in free space and finite structures.

Learning methods and activities

Lectures and exercises. If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may be changed from written to oral.
