Antennas and their communication parameters (B2-B3)

= Test yourself, answer these questions =
 * What two functions are performed by antenna?
 * What is isotropic antenna?
 * What factors determine antenna gain?
 * What is meant by radiation pattern?
 * What is polarisation ? What are its types?
 * If a high frequency has a short wavelength, what wavelength does a low frequency have?
 * What is fading?
 * What is the difference between diffraction and fading?
 * What is the difference between fast and slow fading?
 * What is the difference between flat and selective fading?

= Topic selection for next week =
 * 10Oct: present your ideas
 * identify the parameters you will look at (prepare for sensitivity analysis and own evaluation)
 * don't simply present, but rather show your understanding of a "sub-set" og the topic
 * perform an evaluation towards the parameters used
