Course Objectives The main goals of this course are to provide the students with an understanding of the basic principles of antenna theory, analysis and design, an overview of the fundamental characteristics and parameters of antennas, an overview of analytical and numerical methods used to analyze and design antennas with application to some basic antenna structures such as linear antennas, loop antennas, and antenna arrays.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Analyse the wave equation and vector potentials,
  • Explain the radiation mechanism, i.e. How electromagnetic fields are generated, guided, and radiated,
  • Identify the basic function and performance of a given antenna, e.g. The approximate shape of radiation pattern, bandwidth, and polarization,
  • Demonstrate a recognition of the antenna fundamentals, i.e., the short dipole, antenna radiation characteristics, antenna directivity and gain, Friis transmission formula,
  • Calculate the antenna parameters such as gain, input impedance, polarization for dipole antennas,
  • Distinguish the different space-field regions (near-field, intermediate-field, and far-field regions) and their major differences.
Course Description Fundamental properties. Dipoles, loops, reflectors, Yagis, helices, slots, horns, microstrips. Antennas as transitions between guided and free radiation, ultrasound analogue. Famous antennas. Pattern measurements. Friis and radar equations. Feeds, matching, baluns. Broadbanding. Arrays, aperture synthesis, interferometry, verylongbaseline interferometry. Thermal radiation, antenna temperature, microwave passive remote sensing.
