Course content
Utilisation of the high frequency technology in telecommunications, basic definitions. High frequency circuits of widespread parameters, basic types of high frequency lines & properties, line discontinuities, impedance matching, resonators. Basic properties of electromagnetic waves. Propagation of space and ground (surface) waves, propagation of radio waves in satellite communications, ionosphere propagation Theory of antennas, basic types of antennas (dipole, wide band antennas, surface (areal) antennas, antenna arrays. Scattering parameters and its measurement Electromagnetic compatibility

Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Work with text (with textbook, with book), Laboratory work
Learning outcomes
The goal of this subject is to make students acquainted with basic high frequency technology (high frequency circuits, lines, waveguides, spatial electromagnetic wave propagation, antennas and electromagnetic compatibility aiming at utilisation in telecommunications.)
The student is able to tackle signal transmission from the source to the load (line, waveguide) and also from the transmitter to the receiver at the defined volume considering antenna properties including the transmission of interference signals. The student can work with the Smith (impedance) chart, can perform impedance matching, and take basic electromagnetic compatibility bearings.
Prerequisites
Physics at the scope of secondary school, complex variables from Maths at secondary school level, meaning of integral and derivation, concept of vector & vector operations, matrices.

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination, Written examination

Conditions for credit: 80% attendance at exercises (labs), home processing of one homework set by the assistant, minutes from all lab exercises (practical ones or PC simulation ones) including results and conclusion), passing of 1or 2 tests according to the assistant's requirements. Exam conditions: credit, written test (minimum of 2 computational tasks) and oral or written test.
