EE 407 Antennas and Radiowave Propagation
Syllabus EE 407.pdf
3 Credit hours (3 h lectures). Introduction (Radio spectrum, propagation schemes, radio services). Antenna principles and types. Antenna parameters (e.g., solid angle, field regions, directivity, gain, beamwidth, aperture, impedance, effective length, polarization mismatch loss). Ideal and practical dipoles. Antenna arrays. Friis transmission formula and radar equation. Plane earth propagation. Ionospheric propagation. Knife-edge diffraction. Biological effects of radiation. Free space path loss. Urban propagation. Effects of the earth's magnetic field.
