This module covers the fundamental principles of microstrip antenna design, including impedance matching, bandwidth control, and radiation pattern shaping. Particular emphasis will be placed on practical implementation: participants will carry out full-cycle development, including electromagnetic simulations, hands-on fabrication using low-cost materials, and experimental testing of antenna performance.

The lectures will introduce participants to the theory of electromagnetic scattering by subwavelength resonators, Mie theory, and the quasi-normal mode framework for open systems. Practical sessions will include numerical simulations of scattering problems, QNM-based modal analysis, and RCS calculations using commercial and custom simulation tools.

This topic will cover the principles of quasi-optical systems and their application to the characterization of microwave and millimeter-wave devices. A key component of the course is laboratory-based practical training, where participants will perform real-time measurements of dielectric metasurfaces, analyze transmission and reflection data, and compare experimental results with theoretical predictions.

The course explores the theory and practical aspects of RF coil design, including resonator configurations, field uniformity, and signal sensitivity for MRI applications. Practical sessions will involve the design and simulation of RF coils using specialized software, allowing participants to model electromagnetic fields and optimize coil performance under realistic conditions.
