Introducción al análisis y diseño de antenas

Abstract

Antennas are structures designed to radiate electromagnetic energy efficiently in a preestablished way by means of design. Without an efficient antenna, energy will be localized and its transmission would not be possible. In this article radiation phenomenon is described, then basic antenna theory is introduced, including characterization of these by a set of parameters. Fasorial notation is introduced conveniently. Moreover, historical context is addressed and the role that these devices have played in the last decades of human history. Lastly, Matlab developed scripts are attached to expose current  computational software capacities on antenna analysis and design.
