SIP360AC
Antennas and Transmission Lines
SCOPE OF THE STUDY
A comprehensive laboratory course with emphasis on the study of dipole antennas,
transmission lines, reflectors and directors, standing waves (VSWR), Yagi, ground planes
and parasitic elements. The panel includes a UHF (800-900 MHz)
milliwatt-level
transmitter, a Lecher line, null indicator, assorted antennas, and a field-strength
indicator. The comprehensive laboratory manual includes both theory and experimentation.
COURSE TIME: 60 hours
