Co-requisite modules: |
Learning Outcomes |
|
|
(LO1) The ability and understand the operation and fuctions of antennas |
|
|
(LO2) The ability to design basics antennas |
|
|
(S1) On successful completion of the module, students should be able to show experience and enhancement of the following key skills:Independent learningProblem solving and theoretical design skills |
|
|
(S2) On successful completion of the module the student should be able to:-Apply their theoretical knowledge to the design and evaluation of simple antenna systems. |
|
|
(S3) On successful completion of the module, students should be able to:Demonstrate their ability to analyse simple antenna systems. |
|
|
(S4) After successful completion of the module, the student should be abe to: Demonstrate their familiarity with fundamental antenna concepts such as near and far fields and their distribution, radiation resistance and its calculation, radiation patterns and their relationship to antenna gain as well as the relationship between gain and directivity. Demonstrate the manipulation of Maxwell's equations which underpin these concepts that are fundamental to the module. |
