Propagation in the troposphere – Dr Richard Rudd – Aegis Systems Ltd Approaches to modelling diffraction including Deygout method, causebrook correction and Giovanelli method.Some examples of calculations as well as measurement results will be presented. Reference will be made to the course book and appropriate ITU-R recommendations. The various impairments introduced in the troposphere and ionosphere are presented along with a description of the methods for assessing the impact of these effects. This session provides an appreciation of propagation impairments relating to satellite links and focuses on fixed satellite links. Slant path propagation for fixed satellite links – Dr Tim Brown Path profiles - line of sight versus non-line of sight.Plane earth loss, spherical earth effects.Deterministic and empirical channel models.įixed link propagation models – Dr Tim Brown.This will include 1-D and 2-D array antennas. It will give particular attention to the concept of array antennas where multiple antenna elements can be combined. Types of antennas and introduction to arrays – Dr Tim Brownįollowing the introduction to antennas, this session will cover a brief introduction to the different types of antennas such as a: To have a hands on experience in the laboratory with building and testing a linear wire antenna. Helix antennas.Īntenna characterisation design lab – Dr Tim Brownīrief introduction to how antennas are designed characterised. Polarisation, Basic wire antennas: dipole, loop. Definitions of gain, radiation resistance, effective area, link budget and far field criteria, impedance and reflection coefficient. Overview of relevant textbooks in the field.īrief introduction to Maxwell’s equations, poynting vector, plane waves, hertzian dipole. What is an antenna? Why does antenna design and propagation modelling matter? Examples of applications in this regard.
Introduction and antenna fundamentals part one and two – Dr Tim BrownĪn introduction to the whole course and its structure. Any major changes will be notified to delegates before the course starts. Please note that we reserve the right to alter the syllabus.
