The course gives the fundamental of electromagnetic propagation and radio planning applied to both traditional context (e. g. radio link) and in more innovative and new generation network.
The student will become familiar to the most common instruments to analyze and design radio link and propagation network in general. Some national and international regulations are presented. The electromagnetic field evaluation (fundamental topic in radio planning also from the regulation point of view) is presented, even in practical context.
The issue of electromagnetic compatibility is also addressed.

The course will be divided into frontal lessons and problem solving exercises.
For a better understanding of the discussed topics, some full numerical exercises are also scheduled in laboratories. They consists of development of Matlab scripts related to the presented theoretical part.
Experiental laboratory activity on (i) measurements on antenna radiation patter and gain, and on (ii) electromagnetic coulpling between two transmission lines is also scheduled.
