Course content
|
Students will be acquainted theoretically and practically with various types of microwave lines, with the design of passive and active microwave integrated circuits and structures and with various methods of microwave measurements. This subject involves also practical laboratory exercises, where students will become familiar with modern computing software for design and analysis of microwave circuits such as CST Microwave Studio and AWR Microwave Office. An integral part of the subject will be also the experimental verification of designed microwave structures using top-quality laboratory equipment, such as a vector circuit analyzer, which enables precise microwave measurements. Main topics of the subject: *Basic types of microwave lines (microstrip, hinged tape one, coplanar lines, waveguides and others) - topology, EM field distribution, properties, simulation and optimization using a suitable SW. *Passive microwave circuits (power splitters, filters, attenuators, frequency mixers) - topology, design procedure, properties, simulation and optimization using suitable SW, measurement of selected circuits. *Active microwave circuits (oscillators, multipliers, mixers, amplifiers) - topology, design procedure, properties, simulation and optimization in suitable SW, measurement of selected representative circuits.

Assessment methods and criteria
|
Oral examination, Written examination, Home assignment evaluation
The student completes at least 5 consultations during the semester concerning the theoretical content of the course. The student will pass at least 3 consultations concerning the assigned practical work. In the framework of practical work the student analyzes the passive microwave circuit and formulates/optimizes its model in CST MW Studio. Subsequently, the student will constructs given circuit and checks it on a real laboratory facility.
