Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
The course corresponds to the undergraduate course IT2651 where approximately half of the textbook by Collin is treated. In this course, the same parts of Collin are studied but the examination in the form of home assignments and participation in three compulsory laboratories.
Intended learning outcomes
After the course the students should be able to:
- solve microwave design problems from (or with the same level of difficulty as given at) the end of chosen chapters of the textbook "Microwave Engineering" by R.E. Collin and "Problems Manual" by Urban Westergren: 1, 2.1-2.9, 3.1-3.9, 3.11, 3.17-3.19, 4.1-4.2, 4.5, 4.7-4.8, 5.1-5.3, 5.5-5.8, 5.9-5.13, 5.16, 6.1-6.10, 7.1-7.2, 7.3-7.5, 10.1-10.2, 10.4-10.5, 10.8-10.9, 10.12, 12.1-12.5, All appendices in the Problems Manual
- present and discuss results of microwave design problems in seminars

Grading scale
Examination
Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
Other requirements for final grade
Passed home assignments and laboratories
Opportunity to complete the requirements via supplementary examination
Opportunity to raise an approved grade via renewed examination

Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
