Antenna Engineering

Graduate-level course on how currents on metal turn into radiated fields, and how to shape that radiation on purpose — you start from Maxwell in the far-field limit, build up parameters like directivity, gain, and effective aperture, then use those tools to design real radiators (dipoles, loops, apertures, microstrip, reflectors) and steer beams with arrays. Work is hands-on for an EE grad class: quizzes and a midterm to keep the theory honest, two homeworks, and a project where you actually design and analyze an antenna, with moment-method numerics in the background. It assumes you're comfortable with undergrad electromagnetics and is the gateway course for RF, radar, and wireless-systems research at the MS/PhD level.
