The following tasks are mandatory:
(1) Antenna array task (simulation and documentation)
(2) Design, simulation, construction, measurement and documentation of a wideband/multiband antenna (group work)
(3) Online tasks & homework (certain amount of the points available is required to pass)
(4) Essay & presentation
(5) Exam

The total grade is weighted sum of the individual task grades
