Basic Antenna Concepts
Course Description
Understand the fundamental properties, operations, utilizations and applications of antennas. Focus on intuitive physical explanations and laboratory demonstrations. When equations are used, they are not derived. Instead, the significance of each will be explained. All terms will be clearly defined, and examples will be given to illustrate how they are used.
