SMG-8146 RF-Electronics Preparatory II, 5 cr |
Additional information
The courses RF-electronics preparatory I & II contain central concepts and mathematical tools used in electrical engineering. Some attention is also paid on proper working methods to aid the further studies at TUT. The courses are primarily intended for students of RF-electronics masters programme, with some prior familiarity with the contents. But also other students without prior familiarity can take them as intensive courses.

Requirements
Exam, and three labs. Exam is preferably taken by completing a set of tasks.
Completion parts must belong to the same implementation
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, the student is able to explain the laws of electromagnetism: the Maxwell laws and the constitutive laws. Student is capable of recognizing the connections between circuit and field analysis. Student is able to apply multivariable and vector analysis to work with static, quasistatic and general time dependent EM laws. Student is capable of utilizing Matlab to solve and visualize related problems. Student has gained experience on constructing simple electronic devices such as amplifier and filter, and knows about issues related to electromagnetic compatibility.

Evaluation criteria for the course
The recommended way to take the exam includes various tasks: homework problems and minor exams. The exam determines the grade. The labs are mandatory to pass, and bonus will be awarded from their high quality. To get a grade 3, student needs to have good knowledge of the core content. For higher grades, student need to know well the core content and also have complementary knowledge.
Assessment scale:
Numerical evaluation scale (1-5) will be used on the course
