TEK9140 – Antennas and Radiowave Propagation

After having completed the course, you will

• have knowledge about basic antenna theory
• know the most important characteristics of commonly used antenna types
• have knowledge about radiowaves for use by wireless systems
• can do basic system dimensioning calculations and estimate interference
• know how to take varying terrain, buildings, and climate conditions into account
• have knowledge about new research and be able to present it to others that have some basic knowledge in the field

PhD candidates from the University of Oslo should apply for classes and register for examinations through Studentweb.

If a course has limited intake capacity, priority will be given to PhD candidates who follow an individual education plan where this particular course is included. Some national researchers’ schools may have specific rules for ranking applicants for courses with limited intake capacity.

PhD candidates who have been admitted to another higher education institution must apply for a position as a visiting student within a given deadline.

2 hours of lectures and 1 hour of exercises per week throughout the semester.

The course has mandatory assignments that must be approved in order to take the exam.

As a PhD candidate you must also have a presentation of newer research in the field, either as a presentation to the other course students or as a written assignment. The presentation must be approved in order to take the final exam.

The course lectures is given at Department of Technology Systems in Kjeller Research Park. See the schedule for the student bus from Campus Blindern.

• A final oral examination counts 100% towards the final grade.
• In case of many students, there may be held a written exam instead.
• The course has mandatory assignments that must be approved in order to take the final exam.

It will also be counted as 1 of the 3 attempts to sit the exam for this course, if you sit the exam for one of the following courses:

• TEK5140 – Antennas and Radiowave Propagation
• UNIK9150 – Antennas and radiowave propagation (continued)
• UNIK4150 – Antennas and radiowave propagation (continued)

Students who can document a valid reason for absence from the regular examination are offered a postponed examination at the beginning of the next semester.

Re-scheduled examinations are not offered to students who withdraw during, or did not pass the original examination.
