Conformal Antennas

Catalog description

Introduction to advanced analysis and design techniques as well as applications for conformal antennas mounted on planar and curved surfaces. E E 534 Conformal Antennas (3) E E 534 provides an introduction to the rapidly growing field of conformal antennas. Analysis and design techniques are presented for conformal antennas mounted on planar as well as curved surfaces. Important applications of conformal antennas are also discussed with emphasis on their recent popularity as wireless PCS, GPS, and body-born antennas. Microstrip antenna design projects will be assigned, where students will gain valuable experience using one or more commercially available industry-standards modeling codes.E E 534 is the third and most advanced course in a three-course sequence of antenna engineering courses: E E 438 (Antenna Engineering, E E 538 (Antenna Engineering) and E E 534.E E 534 will be taught every other fall semester, with an anticipated enrollment of 20-30 students.
