Description
Antennas and Propagation for Wireless Communications is a series of lectures providing both a fundamental and detailed discussion on antenna properties, antenna design considerations, different types of antennas, RF propagation issues and an overview of specific antennas used in today's wireless communications markets. Introduction to Antenna Fundamentals introduces basic antenna concepts and definitions used in the antenna industry. Antenna characteristics such as VSWR, radiation patterns, directivity, gain, polarization, axial ratio, and EIRP are defined and their impact on wireless system performance is discussed. The course also describes different antenna types, including resonant antennas, frequency independent antennas, aperture antennas, arrays and electrically small antennas. CONTENTS: Section 1: Fundamental Antenna Properties: Antenna Definition; Electromagnetic Waves; Transmission Lines. Section 2: Antenna Performance Characteristics: Impedance; VSWR; Bandwidth; Radiation Patterns; Directivity; Gain; Polarization. Section 3: Classification of Antennas: Antenna Types; Size; Directivity.
