- Synopsis:
-
The course presents advanced topics of classical electromagnetic field theory, especially: electric and magnetic vector potential; reciprocity, duality, and equivalence principle; Green's function; multipole expansion; scattering and characteristic modes; homogenization and Bloch's theorem; synthesis and topological optimization
The knowledge gained in this course can be used in many branches of applied electromagnetism, especially in antenna theory and microwave circuit design.

- Syllabus of lectures:
-
1) Macroscopic electromagnetism, homogenization, macroscopic description of periodic distributions of matter, artificial materials
2) Sources of electromagnetic field, electromagnetic potentials

- Note:
-
The course assumes two hours of lectures and two hours of homework per week. Homework consists of exercises tightly connected to the subject of lectures. Solution of all homework tasks is mandatory.
The subject is finalized by an oral exam. The grade „excellent“ is given to those students that solved all homework assignments and showed corresponding theoretical knowledge by the oral exam. The grade „fail“ is given to those students that did not present solutions to all homework and/or shown significant theoretical inconsistencies within the oral exam.
