Comments:
The aim of the subject is focused to practical aspects of the antennas techniques from ones kilohertz to tenth gigahertz. The students can design a wire and planar antennas, which can meet in daily practice. In computer practice students designed their own antennas, which will be manufactured and measured. In laboratories, the knowledge of impedance, directivity pattern, quality factor and polarization is presented. Directivity pattern of the antennas is in anechoic chamber measured.
