Prerequisites
Electromagnetics, fundamentals, Physics, Calculus, Linear Algebra.

Learning outcomes
Know, understand and be able to use the methods and techniques for analyzing problems of electromagnetism. Learning takes place through lectures interspersed with exercises and experiments.

Program
Maxwell's equations. Plane waves. Reflection and Transmission. Radiation: hertzian dipole. Waveguides. Transmission lines representing waveguides. Reciprocity theorem. Propagation within non-reciprocal media. Excitation of electromagnetic waves in waveguides. Sources of electromagnetic waves.

Development of the examination
LEARNING EVALUATION METHODS
Written and oral examination. Passing the written part with score higher than 18/30 is a prerequisite to be admitted to the oral examination. The written test consists of three exercises, whose individual score ranges from 8/30 to 12/30. Such exercises concern the main three topics of the course: reflection and rifraction of a plane wave, guided waves, circuit analysis.

LEARNING EVALUATION CRITERIA
The two parts of the exams are aimed at evaluating the candidate's skill in the subject, according to the following parameters: knowlegde, understanding, implementation, presentation. Passing the written past, aimed at assessing both knowlegde and implementation, is a necessary condition for exam success.

LEARNING MEASUREMENT CRITERIA
The purpose of the examination is to assess the candidate's skill. There are three reference levels: base - acquistion of procedures for the solution of canonical problems, as those of the written test. Oral presentation sufficient with a few uncertaine

FINAL MARK ALLOCATION CRITERIA
The mark is allocated on the basis of the acquired knowledge. A score ranging from 18/30 and 23/30 is attributed to the level 'base', a score ranging from 24/30 to 27/30 to the intermediate level, and a score between 28/30 and 30/30 to the top level. A candidate is awarded cum laude when they are able to deal even with new problems in a fully autonomous way.
