Antennas I
Antennen I
6 CPWinterEN
Contents
• Introduction • Fundamental theory of antenna radiation • Antenna parameters from circuit and field points of views • Hertzian and magnetic dipole radiators • Linear wire antennas: Dipole and monopole antennas • Loop antennas • Antenna arrays • Antenna synthesis • Antenna measurements: S-parameter
Learning outcomes
After successfully completing the module, students will be acquainted with the fundamental theory of antenna radiation, the main differences between hertzian and magnetic dipole radiators as well as with the radiation characteristics of different configurations of dipole, monopole and loop antennas. The students will also be familiar with the theory of linear and planar antenna arrays as well as with methods for antenna synthesis. Furthermore, they will know techniques for measuring the S-parameters of antennas.
Assessment
• Oral exam, 30-45 min. OR • Written exam, 90 min. In the first lectures it will be announced whether the examination will be conducted in written or oral form.
