Basic Antenna Concepts - Advanced

Course Description

Basic Antenna Concepts – Advanced is the second part of a two-part series.  The Advanced class provides insight into how we computer simulate antennas, and how we measure the real performance of hardware antennas.  The class includes a live demonstration of an antenna pattern measurement.  It includes a brief introduction into restrictions of use and human safety calculations with real-world examples.  The course concludes with system-level example cases of specifications that drive solutions for the selection and use of antenna systems.
