| 227-0110-00L | Electromagnetic Waves: Materials, Effects, and Antennas | 6 credits | 4G | U. Koch | |
| Abstract | This course provides profound knowledge of electromagnetic waves. Various types of materials, nonlinear and resonant effects, and antenna applications are discussed. | ||||
| Learning objective | You can describe wave propagation in classical and nonclassical materials and know the fundamental solutions. You know how waves interact with matter and about nonlinear and resonant effects. You can apply the acquired knowledge in scattering, waveguiding, radiation, and antenna problems. | ||||
| Content | The lecture covers the following topics: • Generic time-harmonic electromagnetic fields • Fundamental solutions of the wave equation • Wave propagation in various types of materials • Interaction of waves with matter • Nonlinear effects • Resonant effects • Applications like scattering, waveguiding, radiation • Radio frequency and optical antennas | ||||
| Lecture notes | Lecture notes and slides will be handed out during the lectures. | ||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | Remark: the lecture succeeds «Advanced Electromagnetic Waves» and reorientates itself to materials, effects, and applications with waves. | ||||
| 227-1101-00L | How to Write Scientific Texts Strongly recommended prerequisite for Semester Projects and Master Theses at D-ITET (MSc BME, MSc EEIT, MSc EST). | 0 credits | U. Koch | ||
| Abstract | The four hour lecture covers the basics of writing and presenting of scientific work. The focus is on the structure and the main elements of a scientific text rather than the language. Citation rules, good practice of scientific writing and an overview on software tools are part of the training. | ||||
| Learning objective | - Knowledge on structure and content of scientific texts and presentations - Stimulation of a discussion on how to write a scientific text versus an interesting novel or news article - Discussion of the practice of proper citing and scientific integrity | ||||
| Content | * Topic 1: Structure of Scientific Texts (title, author list, abstract, state-of-the-art, "in this paper" paragraph, scientific part, summary, equations, figures) * Topic 2: Structure of Scientific Presentations * Topic 3: Citation Rules and Citation Software * Topic 4: Guidelines for Scientific Integrity The lecture will be given in two parts on two afternoons. Some exercises will be built into the lecture. | ||||

| Prerequisites / Notice | Students should be writing either a bachelor/semester/master thesis or a scientific publication in the immediate future. | ||||
