Lecture Notes Dr Natalia Nikolova 

Modern Antennas in Wireless Telecommunications ECE753
Objectives and Outline: 

The course provides the fundamentals in the theory and practice of antenna design and the antenna deployment in the modern wireless telecommunication systems. 

The theory of electromagnetic radiation is introduced and the fundamental antenna parameters are explained.

 Basic antenna measurement techniques are introduced and practiced in an 8-hour laboratory session. 

Classical radiating elements are studied: dipoles/monopoles, loops, apertures, horns, reflectors, microstrip and slot elements, etc. 

Matching techniques are presented. The principles of analysis and design of antenna arrays are discussed. 

Special attention is paid to antennas popular in mobile (cellular, satellite) telecommunications. 

The fundamental limitations of electrically small antennas as well as the principles of smart antennas are briefly introduced through seminar sessions.

Lecture Plan:

1. Introduction into antenna theory and practice

2. Radiation integrals and auxiliary potential functions; basic EM theorems in antenna problems

3. Fundamental antenna parameters

4. Antenna measurements

5. Infinitesimal dipole; wire and loop radiating elements

6. Wire antennas – dipoles, monopoles

7. Arrays – analysis and design

8. Printed antennas

9. Reflector antennas

10. Horn antennas

If these topics are a bit too intense,

Here's a few a bit lighter.
