| Semester | Autumn Semester 2022 |
| Lecturers | U. Koch |
| Periodicity | yearly recurring course |
| Language of instruction | English |
| 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. |
