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