Further information: The course content couples to the activities at MAX-lab and ESS. The course can be combined with the other advanced courses in electromagnetic field theory, i.e., ETEN05 Electromagnetic Wave Propagation, ETEN10 Antenna Technology, and ETEN01 Microwave Theory.
With less than 16 participants, the course may be given with reduced teaching and more self studies.
