Introduction to antennas
09/10/2024 and 09/11/2024 - Toulouse
Electronic equipment increasingly uses electromagnetic waves to communicate with each other.
To ensure optimal signal transmission, the antenna plays an essential role, but its environment must also be taken into consideration.
This course covers the fundamental concepts and tools needed to understand wave propagation and antennas.
