Learning outcomes
|
The first part of the course is focused on the introduction to the theory of electromagnetic wave propagation in real environments, such as the troposphere and ionosphere. The next part of the course is focused on the definition of basic parameters of antennas and their measurement in free space and in the anechoic chamber. The main part of the course is devoted to a theoretical description of important types of antennas, their design and calculations of parameters of these antennas.
The student will gain knowledge in the field of electromagnetic waves in free space and in trannsmision liness. He will also be acquainted with the basic types of antenna elements and the measurement of their parameters.
