Wireless and Microwave Instructional Laboratory

Laboratory #12 Notes

The purpose of this laboratory exercise is to introduce you to the following:
1. Antenna radiation measurement techniques using the reflection coefficient
2. Antenna resonance patterns
3. Multipath effects as a major concern in communication systems

For this exercise you will need to turn in the following items:
1. Summmary
2. Discussion of Results
3. Printouts and Tables as Given at the end of the Laboratory Write-Up
4. Laboratory Write-Up Including Experimental Results

Notes on Experiment 12

Low reflection coefficient into the antenna implies high radiation. High reflection coefficient implies low radiation.
