Course Content
This course is aimed to provide the basic knowledge and design skills for high radio frequency applications and in general microwave techniques used in ground and space communications, radars and other similar areas. At the end of this course, the student will learn the essential concepts and tools needed for designing and employing devices and components mostly used in Microwave Engineering areas outlined above.These are:basic concepts used in identifying the properties of microwave networks using matrix notations
the concept of stability and gain in microwave systems
basic design criteria concerning microwave amplifiers, stability, gain, noise and bandwidth. Design of microwave systems using of microwave simulators
properties and design of microwave oscillators
design and properties of microwave hybrids (directional couplers, phase shifters, power dividers)
Basic commensurate microwave networks used in microwave filters, matching devices etc
