Modules

Prerequisites

Contents

• Practical design and layout of an antenna array, selected from the antenna configurations in the module “Antennas II”. • Investigation of the impact of the geometrical parameters of an antenna array and substrate materials on the characteristics of the array using a 3D field solver • S-parameter and radiation pattern measurements • Documentation of results

Learning outcomes

After successfully completing the module, students will be able to model, simulate and analyze simple arrays of an antenna configuration using a 3D field solver (e.g. Ansys HFSS). They will also be able to create layouts of the antenna arrays and perform both S-parameter and radiation pattern measurements.

Assessment

• Practical design, approx. 10 pages (60%) • Presentation with professional discussion, approx. 25 min. (40%)

Remarks

• Study programme Physics M.Sc.: Compulsory elective module in complex „Minor Subject“ • Study programme Micro- and Nanoelectronics M.Sc.: Compulsory elective module in complex „Circuit Design” This module can also be offered in German if required. Please speak to the professor responsible.
