Teoría Electromagnética y Ondas course presentation

Teoría electromagnética y Ondas is a theoretical course, which

is part of the basic common and interdisciplinary formation

field, in electronics and telecommunications programs. In its 3

units, emphasis is placed on the behavior recognition for plane

and guided waves, transmission lines and phenomenon like

reflection and refraction.

Purposes of course formation:

Building appropriation on conceptual and mathematical bases

necessaries to define the electromagnetic waves behavior in

such a way that, a student will be able to recognize and to

analyze the physical phenomenon’s applied to characterizing

and modeling waves systems under open and guided mediums.

Propitiating the skills development for solving problems on

electromagnetic theory, fields and waves by mean of the

recognition of the parameters associated to the wave and the

medium.

Giving enough tools to support the analysis and resolution for

problems on the waves behavior for open and guided mediums

using different software simulation tools.

The didactic units are distributed as follow:

Unit 1 – Electrodynamic and waves: emphasis is placed on

conceptual bases, necessary to classify and to characterize

electromagnetic waves in different mediums.

Unit 2 – Waves in open and enclosure mediums: emphasis is

placed in to characterize electromagnetic waves in open and

enclosure mediums. Besides, the electromagnetic waves

behavior will be analyzed, when they collide on a surface.

Unit 3 – Electromagnetic waves in guided mediums and

radiation: emphasis is placed on the electric parameters

definition for guided waves and transmission lines.
