CONTENT
OBJECTIVE
To introduce fundamental concepts of antennas and wave propagation, which provide a foundation for further study in Antenna/Electromagnetics area.
To introduce antenna/EM systems using hands-on laboratory projects/experiments.
LEARNING OUTCOME
Students will learn fundamental parameters of the antennas such as Radiation pattern, beamwidth, gain, directivity, efficiency. Students will learn basic linear wire antennas: small dipole, half-wavelength dipole, loop antennas.
Students will learn Array antennas: Linear, Planar, Circular arrays, Resonant antennas, wires and patches, Broadband antennas, helical, biconical antennas, sleeve monopole.
Students will design and implement simple antennas using printed circuit board technology; get expertise on antenna and microwave propagation measurements.
Students will use Microwave/antenna laboratory equipments, RF Network analyzer, RF signal generator, RF Spectrum analyzer correctly and safely, to make antenna impedance and radiation pattern measurements; record and interpret the results of measurements/laboratory experiments; use electromagnetic simulation software for the solution of antenna systems.
Students will learn about basic propagation mechanisms: reflection and diffraction
