Holder(s) :  Patricia Rousseaux, Benoît Vanderheyden
Language :  French language
Course contents :  Reviews of electrostatics, magnetostatics, Maxwell equations, and wave equation. Wave propagation in a non-conducting medium, in a dissipative medium. Transmission-line theory for a sinusoïdal source and under transients. Wave guides. Antennas and radiation of electromagnetic waves. Topics related to the diffusion of magnetic fields and loss mechanisms in conductive materials (eddy currents and skin effect), as well as polarisation mechanisms are also discussed.
Course objective :  The course describes the fundamental physics of electromagnetic radiation, wave propagation (free and guided) in view of applications in high frequency electronic devices.
Workshops :  Exercice session (problem solving with a teaching assistant) and labs (to be confirmed).
Organization :  The lectures and the exercice sessions are scheduled for the second quadrimester.
Written notes :  A copy of the slides and the exercice manual are available on the course website (http://www.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/~vdh/elen0076-1.html, or at the "Centrale des cours" ()CDC (http://www.cdc-fsa.be/public/). )

Main reference textbook: Applied Electromagnetism, Liang Chi Shen and Jin Au Kong (PWS Foundations in engineering series).
Assessment :  Written exam in June and oral exam in September. In both cases, the exam includes material covered in the lectures, in the exercices sessions, and in the labs.
