Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Evaluation:
- Activity during exercises: 10 points
- Test: 20 points
- Oral Exam: 70 points
To pass the course successfully, it is necessary to get at least 10 points from the test.
The evaluation of students' activities is specified by a public notice as issued annually by the lecturer.

Aims

The course is aimed to introduce students to (a) the mathematical representation of causal, EMC related signals with an emphasis on applications of the Laplace transform; (b) the modeling of electromagnetic (EM) interference of Kirchhoff circuits and transmission lines; (c) the EM emission analysis; (d) the disturbing EM susceptibility analysis.
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.
