Hello Everyone,

I just want to get an idea about which schools offer the best programs for antenna engineering. I'm an electrical engineering undergrad wanting to get a masters in electrical engineering with an emphasis in antenna design and/or rf/microwave engineering (circuits and systems).

My ultimate career goal is become an antenna engineer.
Any suggestions about how I should go about this?

Thanks!

I do not know which is the best, but I do know that the best antenna engineers I happen to know went to Ohio State. They have a lot of professors working in your areas of interest.

I'm sure there are other good (and perhaps better) places. Hopefully others chime in.
