Scenario 1
In this subject the student will study the two forms of electromagnetic energy transmission between two points in space:
- Wireless (in free space), through antenna whose geometry (shape and size) controls the distribution of radiation sources that determines the intensity of radiation in different directions of the space.
- Guided (confined), by guiding structures accomplished through the use of conductors and/or dielectric. This permits the transfer of power from one place to another without radiation.
Scenario 2 & 3
No changes
Scenario 1
RADIATION
1. Source/field relations of an isolated radiating element.
2. Radiating elements type I: dipoles, loops and helices.
3. Radiating elements type II: horns, slots and patches.
4. Linear and planar arrays: analysis and synthesis.
5. Reflectors.
PROPAGATION
6. Rectilinear guiding structures.
7. Impedance transformations and mismatch compensation.
8. Dielectric and ohmic losses in a rectangular waveguide.
9. Resonators.
Scenario 2 & 3
No changes
At the time of approving this program, considering a possible scenario 2 or 3, the acquisition of new electronic bibliographic material is being requested; therefore, the professor of each subject will specify in the Campus Virtual what bibliographic material can be found in electronic format in the USC library when the funds are available.

Scenario 2 & 3
No changes
Scenario 1
Specific skills:
- Acquire the basic knowledge for the characterization of radiant systems that allows the design of microwave antennas for radar applications and wireless communications (emphasizing satellite communications, cellular phones and wireless local area networks).
- Acquire the basic knowledge to examine the connection between guiding structures and electromagnetic waves that they support.
Scenario 2 & 3
No changes
A course will be activated on the Moodle platform of the Virtual Campus, where all the information of interest to the student will be uploaded, as well as diverse teaching material.
Scenario 1
The matter will be held during class lectures, using all the media to be available (waxed, transparencies and video projector) and make the subject enjoyable and training for the student. It will give the student all basic material for the study of matter.
Tutorships may be on site or online, if they are online they will require an appointment, which is also recommended for on site ones.
Scenarios 2 and 3
See Contingency Plan in the Observations section
Scenario 1 and 2
Class attendance is mandatory and continuous evaluation will be made by delivery of homework set and/or a monograph work related with recent literature of interest to the course.
There will be a final exam, on the date fixed by academic authorities, for students who have not passed the continuous assessment or those one that want to improve the qualification.
Evaluable activity
- Homework set => Weight until 40 %
- Monograph work => Weight until 60 %
Scenarios 2 and 3
See Contingency Plan in the Observations section
Scenario 1
Cast hours:
Theory: 20h
Seminaries: 10h
Tutorial: 1h
Personal work and another activities: 44h
Student total work: 75h
Scenario 2 & 3
No changes
There are no explicit recommendations.
CONTINGENCY PLAN in the event of a possible change of scenario
1) Objectives: no changes
2) Contents: no changes
3) Bibliographic material: no changes
4) Skills: no changes
5) Methodology:
Scenario 2
Changes in the type of education are not expected if the traditional enrollment parameters are maintained. If the distance measures did not allow all the students of the subject to attend on site classes in the assigned classroom and there was not a larger teaching space to accommodate all the students, then some of these measures would be implemented:
- To transmit the classes to a part of the students who would follow them from another teaching space of the faculty. Shifts would be established for all students to follow classes under the same conditions.
- To transmit the classes to a part of the students who would follow them from home. Shifts would be established for all students to follow classes under the same conditions.
When scheduling the course activity, priority will be given to on site assessment tests. If, due to an inevitable turnover of students, the assessment tests will consume an unbearable amount of hours, the corresponding teaching will be carried out online.
Tutorships may be on site or online and will require an appointment
Scenario 3
The teaching will be telematic and the classes will be developed synchronously in the official class schedule. It may be that, for reasons that have occurred, some of the classes are developed asynchronously, which will be communicated to the students in advance.
The tutorships will be telematic and will require an appointment
6) Evaluation system
Scenarios 2 and 3
Evaluation activities that cannot be carried out in person, if they cannot be delayed, will be carried out electronically through the institutional tools in Office 365 and Moodle. In this case, the adoption of a series of measures will require students to have a device with a microphone and camera while not adequate assessment software would be avaliable. Students may be called for an interview to comment or explain part or all of the test.
For the cases of fraudulent realization of exercises or tests the USC document: "Normativa de avaliación do rendemento académico dos estudantes e de revisión de cualificacións" will be of application
7) Study time and individual work: no changes
8) Recommendations for the study of the subject: without changes
