Guided Waves 
Electromagnetic theory is the theoretical basis of communication theory. Wire transmission lines, waveguides, and fiber optics, in addition to free space transmission, constitute the communication channels; the physical media for the information exchange. In order to understand and to design new and efficient communications systems, the Telematics Engineer must acquire sound knowledge on this area.
