Foundations of Electromagnetic Waves

ABSTRACT

The course provides the basic knowledge related to the analysis of electromagnetic waves, up to the application layer. The course, through based on rigorous theoretical foundations, is oriented towards the applications of greatest interest to the electrical and telecommunication engineers. Theoretical classes will be complemented by numerical (carried out with the aid of SW programs) and experimental (by means of HW emulators) exercises.
