The goal Introducing basic characteristics and engineering concepts of passive microwave components and subsystems. Training students to design basic passive microwave components and subsystems. Training students to analyze and design microwave components and subsystems using s-parameters.
The outcome Students will gain skills to completely design basic microwave passive components, by the use of contemporary CAD programs, through the following phases: design of the ideal and real model, layout of the printed circuit board, verification of the laboratory prototype by measurements.
