Course Description
The antenna is the first element of the input system to any wireless signal receiving system (for broadcast systems, it's the final element); the rest of the system works with the signal provided by the antenna. For optimal system performance, we need to choose the correct antenna and be able to deal effeciently with it. This course treats fundamental antenna concepts and modern applications as well as how to setup, operate, and maintain these systems, including antennas for wireless. Many examples and design procedures are covered
