\newcommand\courseExpectation{The main objective of this course is to introduce the fundamental principles of antenna theory and apply them to the analysis and design of various antennas. Topics covered include : antenna fundamentals including radiation from an ideal dipole, pattern, gain, polarization, antenna temperature, radar range equation and link budget calculations; analyses of wire and loop antennas; antenna arrays, analysis and synthesis; impedance concept and mutual coupling; broadband and frequency independent antennas; antenna radiation above ground, modes of propagation and multipath; numerical modeling of wire antennas using method of moments. System application of various antennas in radar, satellite and mobile communications will be incorporated in the discussions.

Tentative topics in Antenna Theory and Design II include aperture and horn antennas, microstrip and low-profile antennas, electrically small antennas, reflector antennas, lens antennas , dielectric and leaky-wave antennas, EBG and Metamaterial based Antennas. Also the modern trends in numerical modeling and CAD of various antenna systems will be discussed.

\newcommand\HWandLabPolicy{Weekly homework assignments. There will be one mid-term and one final exam. Final exam will be ’take-home’.}
\newcommand\AttendancePolicy{Whenever possible, students should inform the instructor if they plan to be late or absent from
class. In all cases, documentation is required to petition for excused absences to the Associate Dean
for Student and Strategic Programs, Dr. Stephen Jones. The excused absence form is posted at:
https://www1.villanova.edu/villanova/engineering/resources/undergraduates.html.
Excused absences do not count towards a failure in the course for first year students. Absence
from class does not release the student from assigned work. Students who miss an in-class obligation
such as an exam, a presentation, etc., due to an excused absence will not be penalized - the instructor
may offer a make-up test, arrange an alternative time for a presentation, exempt a student from
the assignment, or provide another arrangement. In the case of illness or injury, the form must
be submitted within 24 hours of missing a class. The University’s list of excused absences for all
students includes the following:
1. Participation in NCAA athletic competitions
2. Participation in special academic events such as: conferences, field trips, project competitions,
etc., and in official university business such as student representatives attending meetings
related to university governance
3. Attendance at significant events of the immediate family such as: funerals, weddings, etc.
4. Religious holidays - see the University’s policy on Religious Holidays
5. College-approved participation in placement activities such as: job interviews, graduate school
interviews, job fairs
6. Legally required absence such as: jury duty, court appearance, short-term military service
7. Documented serious illness or disability}
