ANTENNA THEORY

Catalog description

This course explores antenna theory, simulation, and design. The course covers Maxwell's equations and the corresponding concepts of antenna analysis and design. Topics of study include parameters of transmitting and receiving antennas and types of antennas, such as dipole antenna, loop antenna, helical antenna, Yagi-Uda antenna, travelling wave antenna, and patch antenna. The expected background for students includes knowledge of electromagnetic field theory. (3 credits)
