Description
The aim of this course is to provide a solid grounding in electromagnetism for electronics engineers. These foundations are necessary for understanding the course on interconnections in the 2nd semester and the specialization course modules in the 2nd and 3rd years.
After reminders of electrostatics and magnetostatics, and Maxwell's equations, the course covers free and guided propagation, and an introduction to radiation mechanisms. Among other things, it presents the conditions for the transition between the formalism of electromagnetism and that of electricity, notably between quasi-TEM wave propagation and the formalism of the equations of propagation in lines.
