ANTENNA THEORY

1FA251, 5 hp (5 ECTS credits)

  På Svenska

The course indroduces, in a systematic manner, the fundamental principles of antenna engineering and then applies them on analysis, design, and measurements of antennas. Applications are made to some of the most basic and practical configurations, such as linear wire antennas, loop antennas, antenna arrays, microstrip antennas, and aperture antennas.
