The objective of this course is to equip students with knowledge about microstrip lines and planar structures. This course enables students to delve into advanced design concepts for microwave filters. The course also offers students explore single- and multi-stage microwave amplifiers. Likewise, students enrolled in this course study parametric amplifiers, and analyze microwave resonators, and oscillators.
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
(1) Recall the fundamental principles of wave propagation in transmission lines,
(2) Explain the operation principles of microstrip lines and planar structures,
(3) Demonstrate linear and nonlinear analysis techniques to the design of microwave circuits,
(4) Analyze the design concepts of high-order microwave filters, resonators, oscillators, and single- and multi-stage amplifiers,
(5) Evaluate the noise, gain, stability, and reliability of microwave amplifiers,
(6) Design a multistage amplifier or high-order microwave filter or resonator by using a simulation program.
