Antenna Theory & Propagation EC-604A SL No. Slot Duration Module/topic 1 Day 1 1 Hour

The document outlines an antenna theory and propagation course covering 5 days of modules. Day 1 covers Maxwell's equations, radiation of EM waves, vector potentials, and radiation fields of dipoles. Day 2 discusses half-wave and quarter-wave antennas, center-fed dipole patterns, and antenna arrays. Day 3 focuses on properties of various antenna types including traveling wave, helical, folded dipole, Yagi-Uda, loop, broadband, and microstrip patch antennas. Day 4 examines ground wave, sky wave, and space wave propagation methods. Day 5 concludes with Friis transmission formula, SNR calculations, and physical effects on radio waves like absorption, refraction, diffraction, fading, noise and Doppler effect.
