Introduction to antennas

Training

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.

This course introduces the basic concepts and tools needed
to understand the field of propagation and antennas.

  • Target group: Engineers, project managers and researchers wishing to acquire a basic understanding of the
    field of antennas.
  • Prerequisites: A background in the physical sciences (BAC+2 level) and basic knowledge of
    electromagnetism are required.
  • Teaching aids: Paper, slide show on video projector, practical work on computer.

Objectives

The aim of this course is to give students a basic understanding of the field of propagation and antennas, from theoretical foundations to practical applications. The first part is devoted to basic principles, followed by a presentation of the main types of antennas, and finally a presentation of measurement techniques and software tools used in the industrial world.

Program

Day 1

  • Electromagnetic wave, plane wave,
    equation propagation, polarization, wave impedance, power
  • Wire antennas: the dipole, the monopole
  • Influence of the propagation medium: wave reflections, atmospheric refraction, attenuation, multipathing
  • Reflector antennas (dishes)
  • Printed element antennas
  • Cornets
  • Broadband antennas
  • Network antennas
  • Antenna characteristics: radiation pattern, aperture angle at -3dB, gain, efficiency, directivity, input impedance
  • Practical work on antenna characterization

Day 2

  • Measurement methods

  • Numerical simulation tools for antenna design and
    placement
