Learning activities and teaching methods
Dialogic (discussion, interview, brainstorming), Work with text (with textbook, with book)
Learning outcomes
The subject aims to provide students with insight to the microwave antennas theory and design methods including numerical simulations and measurement. The acquired theoretical knowledge are then applied on individual microwave antenna systems using a systematic approach.
Understanding of principles of analysis and methods of synthesis of various microwave antennas. Analysis and design of various types of microvawe antennas.
Prerequisites
Electromagnetic theory basics, mathematical calculus at the technical university graduates level

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination

The student is obliged to work out and defend his written report on the assigned topic of the field and to go through an oral examination of selected topics of the subject.
