mediums used in telecommunications.
Topics to develop:
-Loss tangent
-Waves in different mediums
-Propagation and polarization modes.
-Transmission lines.
Steps, phases of the learning strategy to develop

Step 1 – To make the course recognition

The student will have to follow the next steps to accomplish the
activity goals.

Step 1: Analyze the given questions according to the main applications

named in the activities to develop paragraph.

Step 2: Answer the given questions using academic resources.

Step 3: Identify the listed parameters in the final question.

Step 4: Develop a written work according to the directions in the

Products to deliver by student.

Step 5: Deliver the work in the monitoring and evaluation

environment.

Activities to develop

In this activity we are going to consider two main applications of

electromagnetic waves and answer the given questions:

- Wireless data transmission.

- Medical applications

Taking into account the academic references, answer the

following questions.

1. Define the following concepts:

- What is an electromagnetic wave?
- What is the speed of propagation of an electromagnetic wave?
- What is the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave?
- Do electromagnetic waves have reflection and refraction
properties?
- Consult about electrical permittivity and magnetic permeability.

2. After having consulted about electric permittivity, what is the

relationship between absolute and relative electrical permittivity?
How are these symbolized?

3. Can the conductivity of a material medium be altered by the

 frequency of the signal applied to it?

4. Can the human tissue change its conductivity because a

disease? Explain.

5. Using the "electromagnetic spectrum", select the uses and

benefits of each frequency range for people.

In this activity, you will be assessed the ability to understand the

concepts related to the transmission of electromagnetic waves. You do
not have to do any mathematical calculation.
Collaborative learning environment: Despite, this is
an individual activity, there is a forum where the
student is going to share information with his/her

Monitoring and evaluation environment: In this
environment, the student will have to deliver the
individual activity, according to the course agenda.

Individual:
The student will have to deliver a Word document
with the following Contents:
- Cover page
- Introduction
Products to - Solution to the questions.
deliver by - Conclusions (what did you learn?)
student - References (use APA format)

Collaborative:
In this activity, the student will not have to deliver
any collaborative product.

references
Students must be aware of severe sanctions in the
case of plagiarism.

In the agreement 029 of December 13, 2013,

article 99, are considered as faults that violate the
academic order, among others, the following: literal
e) "Plagiarism, that means, to present as his own
authorship all or Part of a work, work, document or
invention made by another person. It also implies
the use of wrong citations or references, or propose
citations where there is no coincidence between it
and the reference "and liberal f)" Reproducing, or
Plagiarism copying for profit, educational materials or results
policy of research products, which have Intellectual rights
reserved for the University.

The academic sanctions that the student will face

are the following:
A) In cases of academic fraud demonstrated in
academic work or respective evaluation, the grade
that will be imposed will be zero point zero (0.0)
without prejudice to the corresponding disciplinary
sanction.
B) In cases related to plagiarism demonstrated in
academic work of any nature, the grade that will be
imposed will be zero point zero (0.0), without
