The general flow of the course is Application —> System —> Component; individual components are analyzed by Fields —> Modes —> Equivalent Network. The course proceeds from a review of microwave systems to analysis and synthesis of passive microwave components, then to active, nonreciprocal and nonlinear microwave components. Applications of microwaves (terrestrial and satellite communications, radar, remote sensing, wireless), system requirements for elements which must be analyzed and synthesized. Propagation modes (TEM, TE, TM, quasi-TEM), attenuation and dispersion of general guidelines. Modeling of discontinuities and junctions using S-parameter matrix. Analysis of circuit components (impedance transformers, directional couplers, hybrids, circulators, filters, solid state mixers, amplifiers and oscillators) and MIC structures (microstrip, coplanar waveguide, slotline, finline, and imageline). Microwave computer-aided design examples. Prerequisites: EE142 or equivalent.
