Note: The following provides a suggested course description,
objectives, and an outline. These may be modified pending discussion with
the Faculty Chairs, proposing faculty, and other curriculum
reviewers.
Course Description: A review of basic
electromagnetic theory is followed by the study of conventional microwave
waveguides and transmission lines such as microstrip and stripline. The
matching of microwave circuits will be discussed and small reflection
theory will be used to analyze microwave transformers. The use of MDS
software to analyze microwave circuits will be demonstrated. General
microwave analysis techniques will be developed to handle general
multiport networks. Signal flow graphs will also be used to understand
modern microwave measurements techniques.
