Knowledge
The student who successfully completes the course will be able to demonstrate a solid knowledge of the main issues related to the analysis of electromagnetic fields and high-frequency distributed circuits, with emphasis on those aspects strictly related to telecommunication systems. He or she will acquire ability in dealing with electromagnetic power distribution problems, electromagnetic fields and waves in materials, transmission lines and waveguides, antennas, electromagnetic wave propagation in radio systems.
Assessment criteria of knowledge
During the written exam (3 hours), the student is asked to solve three exercises in order to demonstrate the ability to put into practice the basic principles of electromagnetic field theory for all main issues illustrated throughout the course.
During the oral exam, the student will be assessed on his/her ability in discussing the main course contents with competence, critical awareness and propriety of expression.
Methods:
- Final oral exam
- Final written exam
Further information:
The final test is composed by a written exam followed by an oral exam. In general, each part contributes 50% to the definition of the final grade.
Teaching methods

Syllabus
The course introduces the general properties of electromagnetic fields. The study is rigorously derived through the introduction of Maxwell’s equations. In particular, the main propagation characteristics of electromagnetic waves in material media are analyzed, with emphasis on: polarization, dispersive media, phase and group velocity. The theory of guided waves is also covered, with specific reference to electromagnetic wave propagation in coaxial cables and rectangular waveguides. Finally, the principal parameters of both transmitting and receiving antennas are defined and applied to the description of radio links.
