Content
The first part of the course outlines the tools required to solve electromagnetcs and transmission line problems and enables students to put these tools into practice. Much attention is paid to the process of modeling practical problems and their equationing.
The second part dedicated to electronic devices uses a similar approach. The equations are adapted and simplified in the case of semiconductors. On this basis, the physics of usual semiconductor devices is equated and the results compared to their real characteristics. The validity conditions of simple models, their limits and second-order corrections are widely discussed.

Teaching methods
The course is organized around theoretical courses and exercise sessions.
Evaluation methods
The "transmission lines" part and the "electronic devices" part each count for half of the final mark.
For the "transmission lines" part,
For the "transmission lines" part,
- a test is normally (cfr. moodle) organised in November (exercises, with a form),
- the final mark for this part is the maximum between the mark obtained in the test and the mark obtained in January/August,
- this mark is not carried over to the next academic year.
