Course Overview

The Electromagnetic Waves in Guide and Wireless Media programme is an eight-week study that focuses on the propagation of guided electromagnetic waves. The elective programme stresses transmission, radiation, and diffraction of EM waves. Moreover, several companies and sectors, including ISRO and DRDO, support wireless communications and EM waves studies. 

Students need to submit eight assignments based on solving computational and conceptual problems as part of the Electromagnetic Waves in Guided and Wireless Media certification syllabus. The course sets an undergraduate/postgraduate level of study. Students can utilise the video lectures and references that come with the programme for learning effectively.

Developed by IIT Kanpur, Professor Pradeep Kumar from the Electrical Engineering department instructs the course study. For the Electromagnetic Waves in Guided and Wireless Media certification, candidates must satisfy both criteria mentioned for the certificate, i.e., averages assignment and proctored test scores, after paying a nominal fee.
