Prerequisites
- Vectorial analysis (vectors, scalar and vector fields, differential operators: gradient, rotor, divergency, laplacian)
- Fundamentals of electromagnetism (Coulomb's law, Ampere's law, Gauss Theorem, propagation of electromagnetic waves in transmission lines and in vacuum)
- Fundamentals of circuit analysis
Objectives and Contextualisation
The objective of this course is to form students from the Telecomunications degree in the models and methods frequently used in the field of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). To this aim, the basic formulations used for the description of interference phenomena and electromagnetic compatibility will be presented. We will also study the national and international directives currently active. We will explore the interference sources and how they are measured using professional instruments.
Competences
- Apply the necessary legislation in the exercise of the telecommunications engineer's profession and use the compulsory specifications, regulations and standards
- Communication
- Conceive, design, implement and operate electronic instrumentation and control equipment and systems.
- Develop ethics and professionalism.
- Develop personal attitude.
- Develop personal work habits.
- Develop thinking habits.
- Learn new methods and technologies, building on basic technological knowledge, to be able to adapt to new situations.

Along the course, the students will have to present activities (analysis of papers, readings, etc) assigned by the professor related to the Unity under study. The students will carry out some simulation practices about the subject discussed in the theory classes. The students must also present one subjected related to EMC in agreement with the professor's directives. The course ends with an individual evaluation about the contents of the course.
Platform: Campus Virtual
In this subject, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is allowed as an integral part of the development of the work, provided that the final result reflects a significant contribution of the student in the analysis and personal reflection.
The student must clearly identify which parts have been generated with this technology, specify the tools used and include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and the final result of the activity.
The lack of transparency in the use of AI will be considered a lack of academic honesty and may lead to a penalty in the grade of the activity, or greater sanctions in serious cases.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.
Assessment
Continous Assessment Activities
| Title | Weighting | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Activity 1 | see below | 40 | 1.6 | 1, 2, 3, 10, 7, 8, 6, 5, 9, 11, 13, 12, 16, 15 |
| Activity 2 | see below | 10 | 0.4 | 7, 8, 5, 12, 15 |
| Activity 3 | see below | 5 | 0.2 | 4, 7, 6, 14, 16 |
Activities:
- 4 practices (0.56) i 1 oral presentation (0.14) (70% weight)
- 1 individual evaluation (30% weight)
The minimum score in the individual evaluation is 5/10.
MH: best final grade higher than 9, Not Assessable: not having attended any activity
All activities can be made up.
All activities are compulsory and may be subject to changes according to what the teacher deems necessary.
Repeating students can validate the practices carried out while maintaining the grade obtained.
Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures that may be deemed appropriate, irregularities committed by the student that may lead to a variation in the grade of an assessment act will be graded with a zero. Therefore, copying, plagiarism, cheating, allowing copying, etc. in any of the assessment activities will imply failing it with a zero.
This subject does not provide for the single assessment system.
