After successful completion of the course, students are able to visualize electromagnetic centimeter- and millimeter waves on transmission lines and in free space and are able to select a suitable transmission line, components, and antennas for centimeter- and millimeter waves. Finally, the students are familiar with systems engineering, problems and natural limits in this field.
These practical aspects broaden the content of Chapters 10, 11, 12 and 13 of the course VU Wave Propagation.
In the lecture part, the foundations are laid down. In the practical part, a 10 GHz transceiver or a 10 GHz SAT-Receiver for QO-100 is built in a small group and tested. Experiments about propagation in free space over 10 km link distance and beyond, standing waves and diffraction phenomena are carried out.
Preliminary discussion for this course and several other courses of the institute of telecommunications: Monday March 7, 2022, 2.00 - 3.00 pm in lecture hall EI 1.
This course consists of three lectures and a practical part.
The lectures are scheduled as follows:
1st lecture (2 hrs): Propagation effects.
2nd lecture (2 hrs): Antennas for such wavelengths.
3rd lecture (2 hrs): System aspects.
The group's lab report is evaluated
Successful completion of the exam "Wave Propagation" (course no. 389.064) is required (or equivalent).
The student must have at least 1 of the course(s) completed listed below:
Jürgen Grosskopf: Wellenausbreitung I, Kapitel III: Die troposphärische Ausbreitung, Bibliographisches Institut, Hochschultaschenbücher, Band 141/141a, 1970.
Adolf Heilmann: Antennen III, Bibliographisches Institut, Hochschultaschenbücher, Band 540/540a, 1970.
European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP 2016), Davos, Switzerland.
Contents of the VU Wave Propagation, especially concerning Chapters 10-13.
