Antenna Design & Function

What you will work toward

• Explain what an antenna changes and distinguish gain, directivity and efficiency.
• Read azimuth and elevation patterns using the stated frequency and reference.
• Select a pattern that serves the required directions rather than only the peak-gain label.
• Combine pattern, polarization, link, matching and installation evidence for one design.

A clear completion standard

Review all three lessons in each module, complete its practical work, choose the evidence-based scenario response, and pass its assessment. Modules 1–6 require at least 75%; the final requires at least 80%. Review and retry are available.

All seven modules must report Passed to earn this course's Bronze badge. Learning is self-paced and unproctored. Course achievement does not grant regulatory authority or certify a physical installation.
