Course content:
Applications of microwaves. Basic equations of electrodynamics.
Electromagnetic waves in transmission lines (coaxial lines, striplines, microstrips) and in waveguides (the parallel-plate, rectangular, circular, and other cross-section waveguides). TEM, TE and TM modes. Definitions of current, voltage, characteristic impedance.
The Smith chart. Impedance matching (narrowband and broadband).
Multiport circuits. The scattering matrix.
Passive microwave elements: reactance irises, matched loads, stub tuners, attenuators, phase shifters, power dividers, hybrid junctions, directional couplers.
Resonators. Ferrite devices. MEMS. Semiconductor devices. Millimeter waves.
Basic measurements of the wave length, frequency, microwave power, scattering parameters. Network analyzers.
Learning outcomes:
Knowledge concerning basic theory of high frequency components, devices, methods of analysis, measurement techniques.
