BEE 4433 Antenna Theory and Propagation

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:-

  1. Electrically Small Antenna Video Review
  2. Complete Lab 1 on Dipole antenna design
    1. Simulate the halfwave dipole design
    2. 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
    3. Submit your answers in a 2-page journal article format.The anatomy /structure of a journal article is explained here:-
