Description:
Theory of high frequency (GHz) electrical devices; matching networks, couplers,
power dividers, filters, resonators, and circulators; computer-aided design of
high frequency circuits; microstrip realization and testing with a network
analyzer.
Course
Objectives:
1.
Give the student a comprehensive introduction to GHz circuit design which
provides practical design theories for the design and synthesis of high
frequency circuits.
2.
Introduce the use of CAD tools to verify the circuits designed, account for
real world implementation effects, and optimize the circuits designed.
3.
Expose the students to the measurements of GHz circuits using a network
analyzer.
4.
Involve the students in a team oriented design project where they design,
fabricate, and test a GHz circuit and present their results to the class.
