| | 5. | COURSE OBJECTIVES |
| | 1. Give the student a comprehensive introduction to microwave circuit design which provide practical design theories for the |
| | design and synthesis of passive microwave circuits. (Criterion 3(a)) |
| | 2. Introduce the use of CAD(Criterion 3(k) tools to verify the microwave circuits designed, account for real world |
| | implementation effects, and optimize the microwave circuits designed. (Criterion 3(b)) |
| | 3. Expose the students to the measurements of microwave circuits using a network analyzer. (Criterion 3(b)) |
| | 4. Involve the students in a team oriented design project (3d-practice) where they design, fabricate, and test a microwave |
| | circuit and present their results to the class. (Criterion 3(g)) |
