ECE 537 - Antenna Theory

Credits 3
Lecture / 3 hours per week
Antenna fundamentals, antenna arrays, and basic types of antennas for wireless communication. Mathematical solution of Maxwell’s equations for radiation problems is introduced. Basic antenna parameters are defined and discussed. Electrically small antennas are analyzed. Theory of receiving antennas is presented. Topics in antenna arrays include the array factor, pattern multiplication, multidimensional arrays, and phased arrays. Several types of antennas are studied, including wire and microstrip antennas.
