. "Propagation and antennas"@en . . "6.0" . "Prerequisites\nElectromagnetism and Optics; Calculus; Linear Algebra)\n\nObjectives\nCourse goals: to assure the understanding of electromagnetic phenomena from the engineering perspective. To establish the way electromagnetic abstract models translate into the technology of transmission lines, wave-guides and antennas. To guarantee the perception of how telecommunication systems work, from the support media, compatibility and impedance adaptation points of view.\n\nProgram\nSyllabus: 1. Revision of Electromagnetic fundamentals: Maxwell equations, wave equations, free space EM propagation, Snell laws. 2. Propagation characteristics of bifilar and coaxial lines, wave-guides and optical fibres. Laboratory measurements. 3. Impedance and adaptation within telecommunication systems’ elements. 4. Antennas’ basic concepts and measurements. Input impedance, directivity and gain, radiation field patterns, aperture, polarization. Dipoles, monopoles, loops and parabolas. Impedance and field measurements.\n\nEvaluation Methodology\n50% continuous evaluation / 50% non-continuous evaluation\n\nCross-Competence Component\nPresenting and discussing the projects. Discussing the results of the tests.\n\nLaboratorial Component\nThere will exist four different sessions: 1) analyzing polarization conversion, using polarization plates; 2) stationary waves in transmission lines (microwaves); 3) radiation patterns of microwave antennas; 4) characterization of several passive devices for telecommunications.\n\nProgramming and Computing Component\nAll numerical simulations will de developed using MATLAB. Namely: 1) producing animated plots to illustrate field polarization; 2) Smith chart for transmission lines; 3) plotting dispersion diagrams for waveguides (LP modes in optical fibers); 4) numerical simulation of pulse propagation in optical fibers (using FFT); 5) plotting the radiation pattern of arrays. These skills will be assessed through five specific mini-projects.\n\n\nMore information at: https://fenix.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/cursos/lerc/disciplina-curricular/845953938490018" . . "Presential"@en .

"Programme Overview\nTelecommunications and Informatics Engineering is dedicated to “Internet Engineering”, namely the so-called “internet of things”, which allows us to interact with various objects, such as refrigerators, heating our homes or products for sale in a supermarket. As such, a Telecommunications and Informatics Engineer works with complex, fixed or mobile communication networks and related infrastructures. It also develops services or applications, knowing the related security aspects.\n\nEntry Requirements - National Admission to Higher education\n\n* National Admission Exams: Mathematics A + Physics and Chemistry (Minimum grade point: 100 points (out of 200))\n* Application Grade: MS x 50% + PI x 50% (Minimum grade point: 120 points (out of 200))\n - MS: high school final arithmetic average grade | PI: Average of national admission exams’ grades.\n\nhttps://tecnico.ulisboa.pt/en/education/study-at-tecnico/applications/national-admission-for-higher-education/ \n\nAdmissions can also be done through one of the following ways:\n\n* Course Change and Transfer\n* Holders of Middle Level/Higher Education degrees\n* Applicants over the age of 23\n* Special Admission Regime for International Students\n\nMore information about admissions to Técnico (national and international candidates) is available at: https://tecnico.ulisboa.pt/en/education/study-at-tecnico/applications/"@en . . .
