ECE 435 - Microwave and RF Engineering

Institution:

University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth

Subject:

Electrical and Computer Engineering

Description:

3 hours lecture Prerequisites: ECE 335 Review of transmission line theory. The concept of impedance transformation is presented. The characteristics of coaxial lines, waveguides, and microstrip lines are studied in detail. Propagation and impedance properties of these lines are derived. Smith charts are used for designing matching and tuning circuits. The use of S-parameters and the analysis of multi-port networks are presented. Passive multi-port devices such as microwave power couplers and dividers are described. The fundamentals of microwave and RF filters and resonators are discussed, and their implementation using microstrip lines and waveguides is also presented.
