Learning Objectives
The
course provides the criterions for the analisys, design and utilization
of the main antenna configurations, with particular attention to their
applications in telecommunications in the band from HF to microwaves.
Fundamentals concerning the utilization of modern numerical and
analytical techniques for radiating systems installation in complex
operative environment are also given.
