Antennas for Space and Aeronautics Applications

What it is about

You will learn the special requirements for antenna systems in space travel and aviation and understand how environmental conditions influence the design. In the end you will be able to design, assess and preliminarily dimension typical antenna types for GEO/MEO/LEO satellites as well as for aircraft and UAVs.

What you will be able to do

• Knowledge of the special features of space and aviation environments
• Design and verification of important antenna types for aerospace
• Evaluation and selection of suitable antenna technologies
• Preliminary dimensioning of antenna systems
• Assessment of antenna positioning and trade-off analysis
• Verification of key antenna parameters and performance prognosis
• Derivation of guidelines for antenna structures in navigation and communication
