This course is devoted to the antenna fundamentals and its wireless applications. The study includes basic concepts of antennas, dipole, arrays, microstrip patch antennas, adaptive antennas, full wave analysis and optimized antenna design by full wave electromagnetic solvers like MoM. Narrowband and wideband antennas for practical wireless communication systems - GSM, WCDMA, WLAN, RFID and UWB are also studied. Throughout the course, the students acquire the basic engineering technique and ability to design and; analyze the antennas together with the relevant simulation and measurement techniques.
