| Prerequisites: | The course requires knowledge in Calculus, Linear Algebra and Physics. |
| Target skills and knowledge: | The aim of the course is to provide the student with basic knowledge about propagation of electromagnetic fields in metallic wave-guides and, mostly, in optical fibers. The student will also have the opportunity to participate to lab activities, both experimental and numerical. |
| Examination methods: | The knowledge and skills of the student are assessed by means of a written exam, the reports about the experimental laboratory and an optional oral exam. The oral exam is mandatory is the student does not attend successfully the laboratory activity. The written exam includes both exercises and open questions. |
| Assessment criteria: | The student will be evaluated on his/her comprehension and knowledge of the course topics and on his/her ability to elaborate and discuss them clearly and with proper language. The same criteria are applied in the evaluation of the laboratory reports. |
| Course unit contents: | The course is focused on the physical layer of wired telecommunication systems, with special emphasis to fiber optics. Electromagnetic propagation in transmission lines, metallic waveguides and optical fibers will be studied. The student will also perform 5 laboratory experiments. The main topics of the course are the following:
- principles of electromagnetism (Maxwell's and Helmoltz's equation, polarization); - transmission lines (characteristic impedance, voltage and current waves); - metallic waveguides (modal description, dispersion, losses); - optical fibers (description by ray model, description by modes, attenuation, modal and chromatic dispersion, PMD). |
| Planned learning activities and teaching methods: | The course includes both standard lectures and computer and experimental laboratories. Computer laboratory (3 lectures) is focused on electromagnetic propagation in metallic waveguide. Differently, experimental laboratory (5 lectures) is focused on optical fibers. Students are expected to attend lectures. |
| Additional notes about suggested reading: | Lecture notes and handouts, available in electronic format. |
| Textbooks (and optional supplementary readings) |
