This course is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the fundamentals of antennas, emphasizing key concepts such as Time Harmonic Electromagnetic (EM) Waves, Polarization, Radiation pattern for wire, dipole and patch antennas. The course will also introduce the principles of antenna arrays through the analysis of a 2-Element Array. Special attention will be given to microstrip antennas, covering theoretical foundations, design principles, and practical considerations related to Rectangular and Circular patch configurations. The course will incorporate hands-on experience by utilizing at least one commercial Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tool for designing antennas. It will introduce students to the numerical method, specifically the Method of Moments, commonly used in Antenna Engineering. Through this comprehensive exploration, students will gain the necessary knowledge and skills to analyze, design, and implement antennas in various applications.
