ECE 5310 - Antennas

(4 credits)

Introduction to antenna performance parameters including field patterns, power patterns, beam area, directivity, gain, beam efficiency, radiation intensity, antenna apertures, impedance, polarization, and the radio communication link. Dyadic Green?s Function, Radiation from current elements such as a dipole and a current loop, far-zone fields, arrays of point sources. Antenna modeling and measurement techniques will be introduced. Course will incorporate labs and/or laboratory demonstrations. This course is cross listed with an undergraduate course. Credit cannot be received for more than one of ECE 447, ECE 4310, ECE 547, ECE 5310. Formerly ECE 547.
