This course aims for students to understand the fundamental properties of electromagnetic waves, which are crucial for mobile
communications such as 5G and wireless LAN technologies such as Wi-Fi. In addition, students will acquire basic knowledge
of antenna theory and radio wave transmission, which are essential for the design and analysis of wireless communication systems.
This course introduces the fundamentals of radio wave transmission, which consists of electric and magnetic waves, and provides
essential knowledge of high-frequency radia wave technologies required for communication.
First, students will learn about the phenomenon of voltage and current waves propagating along transmission lines.
Next, the course will cover wireless communication system design, such as the significance of spatial transmission loss and antenna gain, while providing a foundational understanding of antenna characteristics.
Finally, the course will discuss multi-antenna technologies that enable high-speed and large-capacity wireless communication, allowing students to develop a deeper understanding of the relationship between radio wave transmission and communication quality.
