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
Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the information in this section is particularly likely to change.
The course is organized around theoretical courses and exercise sessions (face-to-face or distance learning, depending on the sanitary situation).
Evaluation methods
Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the information in this section is particularly likely to change.
The "transmission lines" part and the "electronic devices" part each count for half of the final mark, unless a major gap is noted between both parts. A dispensatory exam is normally (cfr. Moodle) organized in November for the "transmission lines" part (exercises, with a form). In this case, the students who obtained more than 12/20 in this exam can choose to keep or not their mark (for this part) for the January and / or August sessions (this mark is however not carried over to the following academic year). The evaluation of the electronic devices part consists of the written exam organized in session, and possibly of written tests carried out during the quadrimester.

Evaluation methods
Un examen de modalité adaptée sera simultanément proposé aux étudiant/es pouvant faire valoir préalablement à l’examen une impossibilité de participer à l’examen organisé sur site, impossibilité attestée par un certificat médical de quarantaine. Cet examen distanciel parallèle sera identique à l’examen présentiel mais comportera un examen oral complémentaire.
En cas de force majeure empechant la tenue d'un examen présentiel, l'examen distencial sera généralisé à l'ensemble des étudiants.
