EI241U Advanced Microwave Engineering 7.5 credits

This course covers different aspects of advanced microwave engineering. The student is introduced to common microwave components (filters, directional couplers (OMT), antennas, etc.) and uses commercial simulation tools to design microwave components.

The tools that are used are relevant and are used daily in industry and academia for research and development. We deal with

• introduction to common and advanced microwave components
• use of commercial simulation tools for production of microwave components
• measurements on, and evaluation of, microwave components.

After passing the course, the student should be able to

• describe how common microwave components such as waveguides, transmission lines, filters and antennas function and their purpose
• describe the function and the purpose of advanced microwave components
• use simulation tools to design microwave components
• use appropriate measuring equipment to characterise microwave components
• analyse the results of measurements
• design a component or a system of components based on a specification.
