The aim of this course is to help students acquire an understanding of the fundamental principles of electromagnetism and radio-wave propagation. It also enhances the development of student’s skill in designing a simple antenna through some experiments. Specifically, we will acquire necessary skills and knowledge on DP4E.
The goals of this course are to:
- be able to understand and explain the relation between wavelength and frequency.
- be able to understand and explain horizontal radiation pattern.
- be able to understand and calculate gain of antennas.
- be able to understand and calculate line-of-sight distances.
- be able to understand and explain radio-wave propagation beyond VHF band.
Your overall grade in the class will be decided based on the following:
- Mid-term examination: 40%
- Term-end examination: 40%
- A fraction of in-class contribution: 20%
