| | 5. | COURSE OBJECTIVES |
| | Students will become familiar with the following topics in antenna theory: |
| | 1. Analysis and design parameters pertaining to horn, lens and reflector antennas. (Criterion 3(a)) |
| | 2. Analysis and design parameters pertaining to microstrip patch antennas and arrays. (Criterion 3(a)) |
| | 3. Analysis and design parameters pertaining to waveguide slot arrays. (Criterion 3(a)) |
| | 4. Analysis of near field antenna measurement techniques (including compact ranges), and antenna diagnostics. (Criterion |
| | 3(a)) |
| | 5. The solutions to some antenna analysis/design problems in this course will require the use of a computer for calculating |
| | the antenna fields. (Criterion 3(k)) |
