Study Guide

Objectives (course unit)

Students will deepen their knowledge on electromagnetic phenomena and electric components. Students familiarize with physical principles behind appliences and applications.

Content (course unit)

In addition to lectures student perform modelling and measurement exercises in small groups. When possible, computer software (for example MATLAB or Excel) will be used in solving the problems.
- Electric and magnetic fields
- Electromagnetic induction
- Electromagnetic waves (radiation)
- Photons
- Optics: lenses, mirrors, fiber optics, lasers
- Electrical oscillations
- Antennas
- Principles of electrical sensors, Hall-sensor in particular
- Semiconductor physics: energy bands, charge carriers, P-N junction, semiconductor components
- Thermal noise
