ECE 753 / Modern Antennas in Wireless Telecommunications

3 unit(s)

N. Nikolova (cross-listed as CSE 753)

The course provides fundamental knowledge in the theory and practice of antennas used in modern wireless systems. It starts with an introduction into the theory of electromagnetic radiation. Fundamental antenna parameters are described in conjunction with the basic antenna measurement techniques. The course proceeds with classical antenna problems such as infinitesimal dipoles, wire and loop antennas; antenna arrays; reflector and horn antennas. Special attention is paid to printed antennas and their applications to wireless systems.
