	Objectives
	THE COURSE “ADVANCED ELECTROMAGNETIC” REPRESENTS THE NATURAL COMPLETION OF THE TOPICS TACKLED IN THE PREVIOUS ELECTROMAGNETICS COURSES AND, IN PARTICULAR, IN THE ANTENNAS ONE. TO THIS END, SOME NUMERICAL AND ANALYTICAL TECHNIQUES, WIDELY EMPLOYED TO SOLVE ELECTROMAGNETIC PROBLEMS, ARE PRESENTED. THE COURSE CONTAINS A SIGNIFICANT PART FOCUSED ON LEARNING THE USE OF A CAD-SOFTWARE BASED ON THE FINITE ELEMENT METHOD.

(Hours: 7 theory - 2 exercises) NONREDUNDANT SAMPLING REPRESENTATIONS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS: REDUCED FIELD AND LOCAL (SPATIAL) BANDWIDTH, OPTIMAL CHOICE OF THE PHASE FACTOR AND PARAMETERIZATION. ELLIPSOIDAL MODELLINGS OF THE RADIATING SOURCE. OPTIMAL INTERPOLATION OF THE ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD ON ROTATIONAL SURFACES. APPLICATION OF THE NONREDUNDANT SAMPLING REPRESENTATIONS TO THE NF-FF TRANSFORMATIONS WITH CYLINDRICAL, PLANE-POLAR, BI-POLAR, AND SPHERICAL SCANNINGS. NF-FF TRANSFORMATION TECHNIQUES WITH SPIRAL SCANNINGS. (Hours: 8 theory - 4 exercises - 2 laboratory)

	Teaching Methods
	THE COURSE MAINLY INCLUDES THEORETICAL LESSONS, BUT THERE ARE ALSO MANY NUMERICAL AND SOME LABORATORY PRACTICES. THE NUMERICAL ONES ARE CONCERNED WITH THE USE OF SOFTWARE TOOLS WIDELY EMPLOYED TO SOLVE ELECTROMAGNETIC PROBLEMS BOTH IN THE SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AND IN THE INDUSTRIAL DESIGN. SOME COMPUTER CODES BASED ON THE STUDIED TECHNIQUES ARE ALSO DESCRIBED. THE LABORATORY PRACTICES DEAL WITH ADVANCED ELECTROMAGNETIC MEASUREMENTS. AS, E.G., THE DETERMINATION OF THE ANTENNA RADIATION PATTERN FROM NONREDUNDANT NEAR-FIELD MEASUREMENTS ACQUIRED VIA A SPIRAL SCANNING. IT IS ALSO PLANNED THE DESIGN (IN GROUP) OF AN ANTENNA, THE EXPERIMENTAL VERIFICATION OF ITS RADIATION PATTERN, AND THE WRITING OF THE RELATED TECHNICAL REPORT.

	Verification of learning
	THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE FIXED GOALS WILL BE ASSESSED BY AN ORAL EXAMINATION OF AN AVERAGE DURATION OF ABOUT 60 MINUTES, AIMED AT EVALUATING THE OVERALL LEVEL IN THE LEARNING OF THE CONCEPTS PRESENTED IN THE COURSE AND THE STUDENT’S ABILITY TO APPLY THEM. SUCH AN EXAMINATION CONSISTS OF AT LEAST THREE QUESTIONS ON DIFFERENT TOPICS COVERED IN THE COURSE AND A DETAILED DISCUSSION ON A TECHNICAL REPORT CONCERNING THE DESIGN OF A MICROWAVE DEVICE OR A MICROSTRIP PATCH ANTENNA. THE EVALUATION GRADE RANGES FROM 18/30 TO 30/30 CUM LAUDE. THE MINIMUM EVALUATION GRADE (18/30) IS ATTRIBUTED WHEN THE STUDENT DEMONSTRATES A JUST SUFFICIENT AND FRAGMENTARY KNOWLEDGE OF THE THEORETICAL CONTENTS OF THE COURSE AND SHOWS A LIMITED ABILITY IN APPLYING THEM. THE EVALUATION GRADE (30/30) IS ATTRIBUTED WHEN THE STUDENT DEMONSTRATES A COMPLETE AND DEEP KNOWLEDGE OF THE THEORETICAL CONTENTS OF THE COURSE AND OF THE STUDIED METHODS AND SHOWS A REMARKABLE ABILITY IN APPLYING THEM. THE MAXIMUM EVALUATION GRADE (30/30 CUM LAUDE) IS ATTRIBUTED WHEN THE STUDENT: -DEMONSTRATES A REMARKABLE MASTERY OF THE THEORETICAL CONTENTS OF THE COURSE AND OF THE STUDIED METHODS; -ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS IN A CLEAR AND EXHAUSTIVE WAY, BY SHOWING A VERY APPROPRIATE SCIENTIFIC LANGUAGE AND JUDGEMENT AUTONOMY; -DEMONSTRATES TO BE ABLE IN APPLYING THE STUDIED METHODS ALSO IN CONTEXTS DIFFERENT FROM THOSE TACKLED DURING THE COURSE. THE STUDENT CAN DIVIDE THE ORAL EXAMINATION INTO THREE PARTIAL EXAMINATIONS (EACH OF THEM EXEMPTS FROM THE RESPECTIVE PART OF THE COURSE) PLUS A FINAL ONE, WHICH WILL BE CONCLUDED WITH THE OVERALL EVALUATION. THIS LAST WILL PROPERLY TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE PREVIOUSLY OBTAINED PARTIAL RESULTS. THE DATE OF EACH PARTIAL EXAMINATION IS AGREED WITH THE STUDENT, BUT ALWAYS FOLLOWS THE END OF THE LESSONS RELATED TO THE CORRESPONDING PART OF THE COURSE.
