Requirements

Guided antenna assignment and acceptably documented construction project.
Completion parts must belong to the same implementation

Principles and baselines related to teaching and learning

The course is administrated using the MOODLE learning platform, providing course information, material for assignments, grading and discussion groups.

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.
