The goal		Introduction to the basic quantities measured in microwave engineering, measurement procedures, construction details of the measuring instruments, and practical training on these instruments. Gained knowledge should allow a microwave engineer to properly choose the measuring method and the measuring instrument in characterization of modern microwave devices and systems.
The outcome		Capability to adequately choose and efficiently use measuring instruments for microwave devices and microwave signals testing.
