Aperture antenna is used for applications that require wide bandwidth with a narrow beam width profile. Among its popular use is for satellite television applications.

Today’s class covers broadband antennas, specifically two types of the antenna which are helical antenna and log periodic dipole array.

Broadband antennas are able to operate across a wide frequency range and are very much preferred when the communication devices are not constrained by their physical structure.

Today’s class focuses on resonant antennas namely Yagi Antenna and Microstrip Antenna.

Today’s class focus on the build up of ESA, which include dipole and loop antennas.

Todays’ class covers the topic of antenna parameters and its importance in antenna design process.

Parameters such as return loss, bandwidth, gain, directivity and VSWR are generally used to describe the performance of an antenna.

An overview of this course  is here: Antenna Theory and Propagation

I’ll be teaching Antenna Theory and Propagation, an elective course of BEE program, this semester.

Antenna enables wireless devices to communicate between one to another, it involves the art of manipulating electric current as to generate desired radiation.

Had a 1st online class today and looking forward for the next class.

In this final session, I’ve shared some of the research trends in antenna design. The topics covered for the past 13 weeks lays sufficient foundation for students to kick start their journey to explore the interesting areas in antenna researches.

I hope you enjoyed the online classes as much as I did for the past 13 weeks and all the best in your final exams.
