Antennas

Fundamental parameters. Dipoles, loops, reflectors, Yagis, helices, slots, horns, micro-strips. Antennas as transitions between guided and free radiation, ultrasound analogue. Famous antennas. Pattern measurements. Friis and radar equations. Feeds, matching, baluns. Broad banding. Arrays, aperture synthesis, interferometry, very-long-baseline interferometry. Thermal radiation, antenna temperature, microwave passive remote sensing.
