Introduction to Antenna Theory - RAHAE102

Introduction to Antenna Theory - RAHAE102

Description

In RAHAE 102 we would be concentrating on fundamentals of antenna and working principle of antenna. This course will cover all radiation mechanism of the antenna and description of radiation condition from the antenna. It includes Hertz dipole antenna and its parameters. Number of numerical problems have been solved after each topic to understand the basics of the course. This course describes the electromagnetic wave propagation and how antenna behave at receiver side. The theory and derivations of monopole and dipole antenna parameters covered in this course. The basic concept of antenna array, types of antenna array and its requirements with solved numericals have explained in easy manner.

This course is more of a academic level approach to Antenna Engineering taught on schools around the world

Since you would be having a lifetime access to this course you would be able to revisit during your career as year passes to refresh your memory
