E&C ENG 499Y is Part 1 of the senior honors thesis or project in ECE, to be followed in the spring by Part 2 (E&C ENG 499T for thesis or ECE 499P for project). Individual student research is directly contracted with the faculty chairs who supervise the work. In addition, all 499Y students participate in a common thesis/project seminar that addresses research-related communication and other aspects of the research process in a seminar/workshop format. Seminar topics are deliberately selected and timed to support development of the 499T/P thesis/project proposals.

Analysis and synthesis of antenna elements and arrays. Topics include linear antennas, self and mutual impedances, aperture, travelling wave, and broadband antennas. Prerequisite: E&C-Eng 334 or equivalent.

This course focuses on the study of signals and linear systems. It constitutes the basic theory behind a further study of communication theory and systems, control theory and systems, signal processing, microwave and radar systems, networking and almost all disciplines of electrical engineering.
