Introduction
Waves topics include oscillatory systems, the wave equation for vibrating wires, acoustic waves, electrical waves in coaxial cables or transmission lines, and impedance in various forms. The Schrodinger wave equation and quantum waves are studied. Fourier Series and Fourier transform techniques for wave analysis are included with a range of applications. Antennas topics will cover radiation from an infinitely small dipole, radiation from a finitely small dipole, radiation from an antenna array. Analysis of arrays of finite dipoles and synthesis of desired antenna array patterns. Laboratory sessions consider experiments to study wave motion and antenna arrays.

Note
Please check that your computer meets the minimum System Requirements if you are attending via Distance/Off-Campus.
Units are offered in attending mode unless otherwise indicated (that is attendance is required at the campus identified). A unit identified as offered by distance, that is there is no requirement for attendance, is identified with a nominal enrolment campus. A unit offered to both attending students and by distance from the same campus is identified as having both modes of study.
Special approval is required for enrolment into TNE Program units.
TNE Program units special approval requirements.
* The Final WW Date is the final date from which you can withdraw from the unit without academic penalty, however you will still incur a financial liability (see withdrawal dates explained for more information).
