Electrical and Computer Engineering Graduate Course Outline
ECE 7440 –Topics in Antenna Theory and Design
COURSE OUTLINE – WINTER 2018
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course discusses some techniques and algorithms related to antenna synthesis and tailoring electromagnetic fields. First, the electromagnetic inverse source problem for determining antennas’ equivalent currents from desired electromagnetic fields will be discussed. We then cover some standard antenna synthesis methods. The use of electromagnetic metasurfaces and metamaterials, mainly within the macroscopic framework, will be presented for tailoring electromagnetic fields. In this part, the use of electromagnetic inverse source and inverse scattering techniques for performing macroscopic design are investigated and discussed.
COURSE OBJECTIVE:
The objective is to familiarize students with some techniques to synthesize radiation patterns and to tailor electromagnetic fields.
PRE-REQUISITES:
It is required that students have a firm grasp of undergraduate-level antenna theory (ECE 4270), electromagnetics (ECE 3590), and engineering computations (ECE 4390).
CONTACT HOURS:
3 hours per week
COURSE CONTENT:
Electromagnetic inverse source problem

Students should also familiarize themselves with Sections 4 and 6 of the Regulations dealing with incomplete term work, deferred examinations, and attendance and withdrawal.
o Lectures: Attendance at lectures is essential for successful completion of this course. Students must satisfy each evaluation component in the course.
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY:
Students are expected to conduct themselves in accordance with the highest ethical standards of the Profession of Engineering and evince academic integrity in all their pursuits and activities at the university. As such, in accordance with the General Academic Regulations and Requirements of the University of Manitoba, Section 7.1, students are reminded that plagiarism* or any other form of cheating is subject to serious academic penalty (e.g. suspension or expulsion from the faculty or university) regardless of media
o examinations o assignments o laboratory reports o term exams
A student found guilty of contributing to cheating in examinations or term assignments is also subject to serious academic penalty
*Plagiarism: to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own; use (another's production) without
crediting the source
