1 ContentOverview of most important antenna parameters types as well as their applications. Fundamental theories:Fourier transform for far-field pattern calculations, antenna modeling techniques, antenna synthesis meth-ods, image theory, determination of field regions of line sources, of the average radiated power densityand power, directivity and gain. Antennas as key elements in power budgets of radio links, introducing theeffective aperture of an antenna, deriving the relation between gain and effective aperture. Array anten-nas are a key hardware for beamforming and smart antenna systems: fundamentals of phased-scanningarrays, non-uniformly excited, equally spaced linear arrays, multi-dimensional planar arrays and mutualcoupling effects. Wire antennas: still the most prevalent of all antenna forms, relatively simple in concept,easy to construct, very inexpensive. Antenna radiation fields and antenna parameters for different types ofantennas are derived from Maxwell´s equations, applied for aperture antennas (horns, lenses or reflectorantennas) and printed antennas (microstrip-patch and coplanar-slot antennas) Some basic numerical calcu-lation methods: integral equation methods in the time and frequency domain, physical optics and uniformtheory of diffraction are briefly summarized and compared for antennas and scattering problems. Smartantennas in communication and radar systems, with focus on beam steering and adaptive beamforming.

2 Learning objectives / Learning OutcomesStudents will know basic antenna parameters: pattern, gain, directivity, half-power beamwidth, sidelobe-level, efficiency and input impedance to compare, assess and evaluate different antennas for various appli-cations and operating frequencies. The antenna field regions, reactive near-field, near-field and far-field,can be differentiated and the far-field pattern of an antenna can be determined from given current dis-tributions along the antenna by using Fourier transformation or integral solutions with distributed idealdipoles as basic elements (antenna analysis). To assess in general physical requirements, constrains andlimitations of antennas, students can use fundamental antenna theory: impedance matching techniques,antenna modeling and far-field pattern analysis, antenna synthesis, image theory and fundamental limits ofelectrically small antennas. After being incorporated into the different adaptive beamforming techniques,the array theory enables the student to design antenna systems that are assembled of a certain number ofseparate elements, feeding network, beamforming network etc. for phased-scanning or smart antennas incommunications and sensing. Moreover, students are able to determine, analyze and evaluate the mostimportant classes of antennas in wireless technology for many applications, operating frequencies, desiredrequirements or practical constrains: (1.) wire- dipole antennas, (2.) planar antennas (microstrip, dipoleand slot antennas), (3.) aperture antennas (horn antennas, parabolic reflector antennas, lens antennas,Cassegrain and Gregorian double-reflector configurations), (4.) broadband and frequency-independentantennas (V antennas, biconical antennas, helical antennas, spiral and log-periodic antennas).

Module nameAntennas and Adaptive Beamforming



1 ContentOverview of most important antenna parameters types as well as their applications. Fundamental theories:Fourier transform for far-field pattern calculations, antenna modeling techniques, antenna synthesis meth-ods, image theory, determination of field regions of line sources, of the average radiated power densityand power, directivity and gain. Antennas as key elements in power budgets of radio links, introducing theeffective aperture of an antenna, deriving the relation between gain and effective aperture. Array anten-nas are a key hardware for beamforming and smart antenna systems: fundamentals of phased-scanningarrays, non-uniformly excited, equally spaced linear arrays, multi-dimensional planar arrays and mutualcoupling effects. Wire antennas: still the most prevalent of all antenna forms, relatively simple in concept,easy to construct, very inexpensive. Antenna radiation fields and antenna parameters for different types ofantennas are derived from Maxwell´s equations, applied for aperture antennas (horns, lenses or reflectorantennas) and printed antennas (microstrip-patch and coplanar-slot antennas) Some basic numerical calcu-lation methods: integral equation methods in the time and frequency domain, physical optics and uniformtheory of diffraction are briefly summarized and compared for antennas and scattering problems. Smartantennas in communication and radar systems, with focus on beam steering and adaptive beamforming.

2 Learning objectives / Learning OutcomesStudents will know basic antenna parameters: pattern, gain, directivity, half-power beamwidth, sidelobe-level, efficiency and input impedance to compare, assess and evaluate different antennas for various appli-cations and operating frequencies. The antenna field regions, reactive near-field, near-field and far-field,can be differentiated and the far-field pattern of an antenna can be determined from given current dis-tributions along the antenna by using Fourier transformation or integral solutions with distributed idealdipoles as basic elements (antenna analysis). To assess in general physical requirements, constrains andlimitations of antennas, students can use fundamental antenna theory: impedance matching techniques,antenna modeling and far-field pattern analysis, antenna synthesis, image theory and fundamental limits ofelectrically small antennas. After being incorporated into the different adaptive beamforming techniques,the array theory enables the student to design antenna systems that are assembled of a certain number ofseparate elements, feeding network, beamforming network etc. for phased-scanning or smart antennas incommunications and sensing. Moreover, students are able to determine, analyze and evaluate the mostimportant classes of antennas in wireless technology for many applications, operating frequencies, desiredrequirements or practical constrains: (1.) wire- dipole antennas, (2.) planar antennas (microstrip, dipoleand slot antennas), (3.) aperture antennas (horn antennas, parabolic reflector antennas, lens antennas,Cassegrain and Gregorian double-reflector configurations), (4.) broadband and frequency-independentantennas (V antennas, biconical antennas, helical antennas, spiral and log-periodic antennas).
