The Microwaves and RF course is taught by Dave Hamilton and John Penn. Students learn about Microwave Circuit Design concentrating on passive devices and culminating in diode mixers by the end of the semester. A second term Microwaves and RF II EE775 course concentrates on active devices including amplifiers--low noise, gain, and power, oscillators, and switching devices. Fabricated circuits designed by the students are tested to complete the design learning cycle. Test and measurements of the student designs are normally done during labs about twice each semester. Each design through the two semester series will represent a piece of an system level design so that the students are not only learning how to design, and test microwave circuits, but learn how they fit into the overall system level design.JHU EE774 RF and Microwaves I Course

MatLab Introduction (by Sheng Cheng):
For those not familiar with Matlab, Sheng Cheng
created a simple "tutorial" for using Matlab. Sheng Cheng and Dr.
Edwards have taught this course in past years. This is a good exercise
for those getting started. There is a lot of functionality to Matlab
and this covers some basics including plotting a sine wave. Thanks
Sheng.
