After successful completion of the course, students are able to design simple antennas, model them numerically, compute key performance indicators, manufacture prototypes, and to characterize them by measurements.

At first three lectures will give an introduction to antenna parameters, functionality and design of simple antenna structures, and antenna characterization. In the third lecture the class will be divided into groups (2-3 persons per group) for the practical part of the course. The practical part includes dimensioning, design, and characterization of a simple antenna.

three lectures plus practical realization as group projects

Preliminary discussion: Monday, 07.3.2022, 2.00 - 3.00 pm, via Zoom
together with Practical Implementation of Radio Frequency Circuits (389.098) and Centimeter and Millimeter Waves (389.190)

Due to the infection rate, it may be necessary to adjust the format of the course on short notice.

In such case, we would use Zoom

1st lecture: 12th of March, 2pm - 4pm

2nd lecture: 19th of March, 2pm - 4pm

3rd lecture: 26th of March, 12pm - 2pm

during the 3rd lecture, the students will be grouped for the practical part of this course.

Prüfungsimmanent, lab report and active involvement

Preliminary discussion:

Handouts will be available during the courses. A standard text book in german language about antennas, "Rothammels Antennenbuch" (Alois Krischke, 12. aktualisierte und erweiterte Auflage, DARC Verlag), which is particularly devoted to the practical realization of antennas, will be at hand during the lectures.
