PROGRAM OVERVIEW

<p style="text-align: justify; ">Description </p><p style="text-align: justify; "> </p><p style="text-align: justify; ">An antenna is an array of conductors (elements), electrically connected to the receiver or transmitter. During transmission, the oscillating current applied to the antenna by a transmitter creates an oscillating electric field and magnetic field around the antenna elements. These time-varying fields radiate energy away from the antenna into space as a moving transverse electromagnetic field wave. Conversely, during reception, the oscillating electric and magnetic fields of an incoming radio wave exert force on the electrons in the antenna. </p><p style="text-align: justify; "> </p><p style="text-align: justify; ">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Antennas can be designed to transmit and receive radio waves in all horizontal directions equally (omnidirectional antennas), or preferentially in a particular direction (directional or high gain antennas). An antenna may include parasitic elements, parabolic reflectors or horns, which serve to direct the radio waves into a beam or other desired radiation pattern. </p><p style="text-align: justify; "> </p><p style="text-align: justify; ">What will you learn? </p><p style="text-align: justify; "> </p><p style="text-align: justify; ">Concept of antenna radiation, important antenna parameters, and current antenna analysis tools. </p><p style="text-align: justify; ">Antenna impedance matching and antenna measurement techniques. </p><p style="text-align: justify; ">Practical design techniques and measurement for a number of popular antennas. </p><p style="text-align: justify; ">Prerequisites </p><p style="text-align: justify; "> </p><p style="text-align: justify; ">Familiar with the engineering development process. </p><p style="text-align: justify; ">Understanding of the transmission line theory. </p><p style="text-align: justify; ">Knowledge of using mathematical analysis/modeling tools. </p><p style="text-align: justify; ">The skill of using 3D Electromagnetic simulation tools for antenna design. </p><p style="text-align: justify; ">Some knowledge of mainstream RF circuit simulation tools. </p><p style="text-align: justify; ">Experience designing standard antenna types (such as dipole, monopole, loop, horn, or patch for broadband and multiband&hellip;.)</p>
