ELT-41736 Analysis of Electromagnetic Systems, 5 cr
Additional information
Emphasis in this course is on gaining comprehension on the electromagnetic phenomena. We use frequently online and inclass demonstrations together with simulation tools (Matlab, Comsol) to visualize the EM phenomena and to analyse features of EM systems. The course includes also hands-on tasks, supplement to the simulations and analytical work.
