Week 3 covers the topic of Electrically Small Antenna, which among the most attractive antenna structure due to it’s simplicity in the design process and compact size. However, these come with a trade off narrow bandwidth and low efficient radiancy.
For this chapter, please complete the following:-
- Electrically Small Antenna Video Review
- Complete Lab 1 on Dipole antenna design
- Simulate the halfwave dipole design
- Observe the following items and:-
- describe the operating frequency of the dipole antenna,
- describe the radiation characteristics of the antenna,
- what are the influencing design parameters,
- estimate the dimensions of a dipole antenna that will radiate at 1.8 GHz
- Submit your answers in a 2-page journal article format.The anatomy /structure of a journal article is explained here:-
