Aims

The goal of the course is to get students acquainted with the basic principles of electromagnetic compatibility with an emphasis on the mathematical modeling of electromagnetic interference.
After successfully passing the course, a student understands basic concepts of EMC with an emphasis on their underlying physics and mathematical description. Furthermore, the student is able to (a) apply the Laplace transform to the analysis of causal signals; (b) derive the shielding efficiency of planar shields; (c) derive the characteristic impedance of simple transmission lines; (d) derive integral equations for EM scattering analysis; (e) describe EM radiation from fundamental antennas; (f) apply the Lorentz reciprocity theorem to systems EM susceptibility analysis.
