Design of Antenna Arrays for 5G Communication Systems

Coursera Project Network via Coursera

This course may be unavailable.

Overview

Are you interested in designing antenna arrays of different frequency bands? The course describes the general principles and key steps in designing the antenna arrays regardless of the frequency range.
Here you will find explanation of the fundamental terms of antenna engineering, such as radiation pattern, gain, directivity, beam width and sidelobe level.
During the project, you will get to know with following content:
1) Derivation of the Friis transmission equation and how it is used to determine the necessary size of the receiving antenna depending on the distance to the signal source.
2) The peculiarities of choosing the distances and the phase shift of the excitation between neighbouring elements of the antenna array.
3) The principles of controlling the side-lobe level by selecting the level of power supplied to individual antenna parts.
All necessary course calculations are supposed to be performed using MATLAB live scripts. Live-scripts allow real-time visualization of various parameters that are influencing the resulting radiation pattern of the designed antenna array. Join our course right now!
