一、課程說明(Course Description)
<br> This course introduces concepts and principles of circuit analysis and design
<br> at microwave frequencies by examining microwave passive and active devices. 
<br> The concepts of transmission line are addressed.  Design of passive/active
<br> circuits such as filters, inductors, and couplers are also emphasized.  The
<br> design techniques required to develop some of the major building blocks in
<br> modern microwave systems are also included in this class. 
<br>
<br>Topics to be covered:
<br>a. Electromagnetic theory: Wave equation and basic plane wave solutions;
<br>   Energy and power; Plane wave reflection 
<br>b. Microwave circuit principles: Transmission lines; Waveguides; S-parameters;
<br>   Microwave network analysis; Impedance matching and tuning
<br>c. Passive microwave circuits: Microwave filters; Microwave couplers; Power
<br>   divider 
<br>d. Active microwave circuits: Low-noise amplifiers; Mixers; Power amplifiers;
<br>   Oscillators.

<br> 四、教學方式(Teaching Method)
<br>
<br> Power point handouts are used in this class.  Tablet computer is used for
<br> equation derivation and additional materials.  CAD tool is used in this class
<br> to let students have opportunities using industrial standard approach for
<br> microwave circuit design. In addition, students are required to design and
<br>  measure passive board-level microwave circuits in the labs (two to three of
<br>  the labs).
