The Pringles Can Antenna laboratory serves as a vital hands-on experience in the Electromagnetic Waves course at Duke University. In this engaging experiment, students like John Barrett and Mark Gu (class of '09) measure the performance of their cylindrical antenna. Using a half-wave dipole antenna source, they calculate the optimal reception point. Additionally, the fault-detection laboratory experiment challenges students to determine the wire length on an unknown spool without unwinding it, enhancing their practical skills and understanding of electrical engineering concepts.

The Pringles Can Antenna laboratory is a favorite in the Electromagnetic Waves course. Student John Barrett ’09 and Mark Gu ’09 measure the performance of their cylindrical antenna. Students are required to calculate the point of highest reception using a half-wave dipole antenna source. Setup and equivalent circuit for the fault-detection laboratory experiment in the Electromagnetic Waves course at Duke University in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. In this laboratory, students are given a wire spool of unknown length and asked to determine the amount of wire on the spool without unwinding it.
