Description
Summary:The authors summarizes the antenna design, simulation, and testing activities in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of Stellenbosch, South Africa. The purpose of this work is to train engineers at the Masters and Doctoral levels for careers in telecommunications; to develop technology which may be useful for the South Africa industry; and to conduct good research. The experimental facilities span the spectrum from below 1 MHz to about 20 GHz. The following activities are reviewed here: microstrip antenna analysis and design, wire grid modeling on parallel computers, penetrable body of evolution antennas, and near-field metrology.
