Antennas for Wireless Communications

Analysis and design of most popular antennas used in the industry

Evaluate antenna performance based on acceptable metrics

g., for handset mobile devices, SATCOM, etc.)

Analyze antennas to obtain important figures of merit (e.g. directivity, efficiency, power radiated, etc.)

Understand the operation and performance of different types of antennas used in today’s communications

Acquire knowledge on antenna measurements and expental setups

Use of commercial software for the analysis and design of antennas

Design antenna arrays based on desired performance characteristics

Bachelor degree in Electrical or Electronics Eeering, Physics or relevant field

Junior- or senior-year undergraduate students in relevant fields with good acad standing

Knowledge of basic Calculus including complex numbers and vectors

Basic knowledge of Electromagnetics

This course provides an in-depth analysis of different types of antennas rag from simple dipoles and monopoles mounted on conducting ground to more complex wire antennas such as loops, Yagi-Uda and helical antennas, to aperture antennas, horns, and microstrip patches. The course starts with the definition and thorough explanation of important performance parameters of antennas (power radiated, directivity, gain, efficiency, etc.) which form the basis for the analysis and performance evaluation of an antenna design. Other topics such as antenna arrays (uniform and nonuniform excitation), software simulation, and measurements are also covered. Most concepts and design procedures are explained through exercises and numerical examples.
