| Aim | The subtitle of this course in Fall 2021 semester is “Microwave Circuit Design with Emphasis on Computational Approach” The goal of this course is to give the graduate students an advanced knowledge on how to analyze the behavior of Microstrip based Microwave Circuits using Computational Electromagnetic techniques. There is a gap between Microwave Circuit Design and Computational Electromagnetic topics. Many Microwave Engineers design their circuits by using commercially available Electro-Magnetic Analysis tools without knowing the details of their solution. This course is intended to bridge this gap. The computational EM technique to be used in this course is based on the Finite Difference Time Domain method. This technique is the base methodology that is used in many commercially available software packages such as CST, EMPro, Feko, XFDTD and CEMS. This class covers principles of high frequency passive circuit design in microstrip technologies using Finite Difference Time Domain computational approach. The frame of the class is as following. - Introduction to Numerical Methods for EM - Finite Difference Approximations and Solutions - Finite Difference Frequency Domain Formulation - Finite Difference Time Domain Formulation - FDTD Examples - Microwave Passive Circuit Design using FDTD: Microstrip transmission lines, Filters, Directional Couples - Microwave Active Circuit Design: using co-simulations with FDTD passive solutions and vendor supplied active component models. Programming capacility in Matlab is essential for this course. Having access to an Nvidia Graphic Card is preferred for faster computations (GPU based). |
