ElectronicsandCommunicationEngineering CourseDescriptionFall201213 ECE306AntennasandWavePropagation LTPC: 3003 CourseDescription: This course highlights the characteristics of electromagnetic wave propagation and their behavior and signal losses in medium. In addition the course includes Antenna characteristics, antenna arrays and selection and design of various types of antenna from low frequency range to Terahertz range suitable for wireless applications. MATLAB, Microwave office, CST MW studio and IE3D will be used for the simulation purpose in differentassignments/miniprojects Prerequisite:ECE202TransmissionLineandFields CourseSyllabus: UnitI: Propagation Mechanism Reflection, refraction and Transmission, Scattering and diffraction.
