Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

  • Mobilise a structured set of scientific knowledge and skills and specialised techniques in order to carry out electrical engineering missions, using their expertise and adaptability.
    • Master and appropriately mobilise knowledge, models, methods and techniques specific to electrical engineering.
    • Analyse and model a problem by critically selecting theories and methodological approaches (modelling, calculations), and taking into account multidisciplinary aspects.
    • Assess the validity of models and results in view of the state of science and characteristics of the problem.
  • Communicate and exchange information in a structured way - orally, graphically and in writing, in French and in one or more other languages - scientifically, culturally, technically and interpersonally, by adapting to the intended purpose and the relevant public.
    • Master technical English in the field of electrical engineering.

Learning Outcomes of UE

understand the basic principles of microwave engineering with emphasis on line theory, metallic and dielectric waveguides, two-port networks characterization and scattering parameters.

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

Introduction; Transmission line theory (basic equations, sinusoidal traveling waves, Smith charts, transients on a line); Impedance matching networks; Two-port networks (scattering coefficients); Propagation in metallic and dielectric waveguides.
