Antennas: The antenna is an integral part of any wireless communications system. The module outlines basic principles and analysis of antennas. The first part of this module concentrates on defining and practical measurement of antenna characteristics. Array theory is then developed using isotropic sources, and this includes both analysis of linear and planar arrays as well as pattern synthesis. Examples of practical antennas are considered, concentrating on dipoles and patch antennas. The latter is used for practical laboratory work in this unit.
Electromagnetic Compatibility: This course is designed to give an appreciation of the range of issues involved in the design and testing of equipment in such a way as will comply with EMC standards and operate successfully when used in systems. The approach is deliberately chosen to be broad rather than deep so that the students will obtain the necessary background in order for them to be able to investigate specific problems which they may encounter in the future.
Having completed this unit, students will be able to:
Combination of lectures and laboratory sessions
Pro-forma report on antenna matching and measurement laboratory, 10% (ILOs 2, 3, 6)
Pro-forma report on basic antenna design using CAD modelling, 10% (ILOs 2, 3, 6)
Exam, 2 hours, 80% (ILOs 1-5, 6-13)
