BEE4433 Antenna Theory and Propagation

Today’s class covers the chapter on Broadband Antennas, focusing on 2 main structure – helical antenna and log periodic dipole array.

Broadband antennas are preferred due to its wide band coverage properties. A single unit is able to cater various frequency applications.

For this chapter, students are required to:-

  1. watch the broadband antenna video and submit a concept inventory review via KALAM feedback
  2. answer tutorial no 4 regarding helical and LPDA antenna
  3. simulate a helical antenna structure and discuss the operating mechanism of the antenna
