ELEG 57803 — Introduction to Antennas
Basic antenna types: small dipoles, half wave dipoles, image theory, monopoles, small loop antennas. Antenna arrays: array factor, uniformly excited equally spaced arrays, pattern multiplication principles, nonuniformly excited arrays, phased arrays. Use of MATLAB programming and mathematical techniques for antenna analysis and design. Emphasis will be on using simulation to visualize variety of antenna radiation patterns. Students cannot get credit for ELEG 57803 if they have taken ELEG 47803 . Prerequisite: Graduate Standing in Electrical Engineering. (Typically offered: Irregular)
