Unit Code: EEB861

Unit Name: Antennas and Wave Propagation

Description: An antenna is a region of transition between a transmission line and space and is usually defined as the structure associated with the region of transition between a guided wave and free space wave. On transmission, the antenna accepts energy from a transmission line and radiates into the space and on reception the antenna gathers energy from an incident wave and sends it to a transmission line. The directional pattern of a receiving antenna is identical with its directional pattern of a transmitting antenna. A large variety of antennas have been developed to date, they range from a simple structure such as monopoles and diploes to complex structure such as phased array. This course will develop knowledge and skills on particular type of antennas selected for a certain application.
