Antenna and Wave Propagation Basics

This document outlines the units of study for a course on antenna and wave propagation. The five units cover fundamentals of radiation and antenna parameters; aperture and slot antennas; antenna arrays; special antennas like spiral and helical antennas; and propagation of radio waves through different modes like ground wave, sky wave, and tropospheric propagation. The course totals 45 periods and references several textbooks on antennas and electromagnetic waves.
