EL 6723 Electromagnetic Radiation and Antennas

Description:

The electromagnetic fields radiated by current elements are derived from Maxwell's equations. From these results, the fields radiated by many types antennas are derived, including various types of dipoles, arrays, aperture, and frequency independent and traveling wave antennas. Concepts such as radiation resistance and pattern, directivity, gain, effective area, reciprocity, bandwidth, noise temperature, mutual coupling and array scanning impedance are introduced.
