Guided antenna assignment and acceptably documented construction project.

Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of the course student is able to design, construct, and test a chosen antenna structure. Student is capable of applying antenna theory in specification, design, construction, and testing of the antenna structure. Student recognizes the main steps inherent in such a work, and is able to utilize software and equipments that are used in simulation, construction, and measurement of antennas. Student is capable of reporting his/her work according to practices of scientific writing.
