| Objectives | |
|---|---|
| THE COURSE GIVES TO THE STUDENTS PROPER TOOLS FOR ANALYZING AND SYNTHESIZING ANTENNAS, AS WELL AS, IT PROVIDES THE FUNDAMENTALS OF A RADIO LINK DESIGN. IN PARTICULAR, THE TECHNIQUES FOR THE ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF HIGH FREQUENCIES ANTENNAS ARE STUDIED IN DETAIL. |
| Prerequisites | |
|---|---|
| TO PROFITABLY REACH THE GOAL OF THE COURSE, THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS ARE NEEDED: A) GOOD KNOWLEDGE OF MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS AND PHYSICS; B) SOUND KNOWLEDGE OF THE FUNDAMENTAL LAWS OF ELECTROMAGNETICS, ACQUIRED IN A FIRST LEVEL COURSE OF ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS. |

| Teaching Methods | |
|---|---|
| THE COURSE MAINLY INCLUDES THEORETICAL LESSONS, BUT THERE ARE ALSO SOME NUMERICAL AND LABORATORY PRACTICES. THE NUMERICAL PRACTICES ARE CONCERNED WITH THE USE OF SOFTWARE TOOLS FOR THE ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF ANTENNAS. WHEREAS, THE LABORATORY ONES DEAL WITH THE MEASUREMENTS OF SOME ANTENNA PARAMETERS. FOR INSTANCE, THE DETERMINATION OF THE ANTENNA RADIATION PATTERN FROM FAR-FIELD OR NEAR-FIELD MEASUREMENTS PERFORMED IN AN ANECHOIC CHAMBER. SOME SEMINARS ON THE NONREDUNDANT SAMPLING REPRESENTATIONS OF THE ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD AND THEIR APPLICATIONS TO THE NEAR-FIELD-FAR-FIELD TRANSFORMATION TECHNIQUES ARE ALSO PLANNED. |
| Verification of learning | |
|---|---|
| AN ORAL EXAMINATION WILL VERIFY THE REACHING OF THE FIXED GOALS. THE STUDENT CAN SPLIT THE EXAMINATION INTO FOUR PARTS. IN SUCH A CASE, THE OVERALL EVALUATION WILL PROPERLY TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE RESULTS OBTAINED IN THE PREVIOUS TESTS AND IN THE FINAL ONE. |
