ABOUT THE COURSE

ABOUT THE COURSE

In this course, describe the microwave properties and its transmission media. Illustrate the behavior of microwave networks and devices for various applications. Discuss the basic parameters of an antenna. Compare the radiation patterns of two isotropic and n-isotropic linear antennas. Describe the construction, working and applications of different types of antenna.Microwave is a form of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths ranging from about one meter to one millimeter corresponding to frequencies between 300 MHz and 300 GHz respectively. 

An Antenna can be used either as a transmitting antenna or a receiving antenna.A transmitting antenna is one, which converts electrical signals into electromagnetic waves and radiates them. A receiving antenna is one, which converts electromagnetic waves from the received beam into electrical signals. In two-way communication, the same antenna can be used for both transmission and reception.
