Objectives of the Course 1) This course brings together the theoretical knowledge learned in the EEE361 course and experimental knowledge. In this way, it helps students put the theoretical knowledge they learn in classes into an experimental perspective.
2) It informs students about how some devices/apparatus in the microwave laboratory work and helps them understand how the measurement data obtained should be interpreted.
Course Content 1) Transmission lines. Distributed circuit model. Field analysis of transmission lines and classification of guided waves. Analysis of parallel plate and coaxial cable transmission lines
2) Planar transmission lines-Microstrip and ribbon transmission lines. Analysis of rectangular and cylindrical waveguides. Impedance transformations and matching
3) Smith Table, Circuit theory for wave steering systems and scattering matrices
4) Dielectric and ohmic losses in guide structures, Excitation of waveguides
Course Methods and Techniques 2 midterm exams (30% each) and 1 final exam (40%)
