Objectives of the Course Wave propagation and fundamentals of antennas together with various antenna types that can be used as parts of RF and microwave frequency systems used in different application areas are investigated. For example, simple wire antennas and their radiations are investigated. Also, antenna parameters are defined and they are examined deeply. This course aims to help the students to understand and develop their design skill about antenna engineering. Particularly, the main goals of the course are as follows:
o Developing a theoretical background on antenna engineering and wave propagation.
o Providing basic skills about parameters and testing principles of antennas.
o Providing experience for various types of antennas and their applications.
