Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The student is able to design and analyze simple microwave circuits and circuit components using computer-aided RF-circuit design tools, also taking electromagnetic effects on actual microstrip PCBs into account, as well as to describe key characteristics of different components and complete microwave systems.
