Educational Goals

The course aims at teaching the fundamentals of antenna theory and design. The most common antennas for telecommunications are introduced and analyzed and practical guidelines for their design and use are given.

Content

Maxwell’s equations and plane waves. Fundamental parameters of antennas. Small dipole and wire antennas. Antenna arrays. Microstrip and mobile communication antennas.

Extended Syllabus

Maxwell’s equations and plane waves: integral and differential form of Maxwell’s equations, Helmholtz equation and plane waves, spherical waves, polarization of the electromagnetic field, radiation mechanism, Hertz dipole.
Fundamental parameters of antennas: radiation pattern, field regions, directivity, gain, input impedance, effective area, Friis transmission equation, radar range equation.
Small dipole and wire antennas: scalar and vector potentials, inhomogeneous wave equation, infinitesimal dipole, small dipole, finite length dipole, parameters of the half-wavelength dipole.
Antenna arrays: antenna factor, broadside array, end-fire array, traveling wave antenna, mutual coupling between wire antennas, Yagi-Uda antenna.
Microstrip and mobile communication antennas: rectangular and circular patches, feeding methods, planar inverted-F antenna, slot antenna, inverted-F antenna.

Teaching Methods

Lectures in classroom (supported by slides and computer programs). Several exercises are solved to show how to calculate the parameters of a radiator and how to design antennas for real-world applications.

Assessment Methods

Mandatory written examination comprising theoretical questions and exercises on antenna analysis or design. After passing the written examination, the students can ask for an additional optional oral examination.

Other Information

The course is aimed at students of the master’s degrees in “Communication Technologies and Multimedia” and in “Electronics Engineering”; the first part of the course is dedicated to a review of the main results of engineering electromagnetics and, for this reason, “Antennas” can be chosen as elective course by students enrolled in the master’s degree in “Computer Science and Engineering”, as well.
