RF and Microwave Circuits I
525.774
Course Description
In this course, students examine RF and microwave circuits appropriate for wireless communications and radar
sensing. It emphasizes the theoretical and experimental aspects of microstrip design of highly integrated systems.
Matrix analysis and computer-aided design techniques are introduced and used for the analysis and design of circuits.
Circuits are designed, fabricated, and tested, providing a technically stimulating environment in which to understand
the foundational principles of circuit development. Couplers, modulators, mixers, and calibrated measurements
techniques are also covered.
