Focus on Maxwell's equations and the physical origin of radiation from a changing current.
How electrons accelerate in a conductor to create time-varying magnetic and electric fields.
Direct transmission from the transmitter to the receiver through the troposphere.

Building on the fundamentals, this unit focuses on specific antenna types and concepts:
If you cannot find a legal "full" download, use the table of contents from K.D. Prasad’s book to build your own PPT using open-source diagrams (like those from Antenna Theory by Balanis – with citation). This is time-consuming but legally safe and educationally rewarding.
The journey begins with understanding how a simple wire can transmit information through space. Focus on Maxwell's equations and the physical origin
This introductory section establishes the core terminology and basic physics governing how antennas bridge guided waves and free-space radiation. What is an Antenna?
This unit is crucial for understanding how multiple antennas can work together:
| Resource | Type | Similarity to Prasad | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Slides available on Rutgers/OSU sites | High (classic text) | | Constantine Balanis - Antenna Theory (Lecture Slides) | Official instructor slides (Wiley) | Very High (but more advanced) | | EC6602 - Antenna and Wave Propagation (Anna University PPTs) | College faculty slides | High (follows same syllabus) | | YouTube Playlist - Professor David Jenn (Naval Postgraduate School) | Video + downloadable slides | Moderate (military/radar focus) | The journey begins with understanding how a simple
Maximum radiation is along the axis of the array.
