This is a third-year undergraduate course on the fundamentals of microwave engineering and RF theory. The main goal is to learn the basics of RF/Microwave Engineering. Some basic experiments will be performed. Students will learn how to use microwave equipment such as spectrum and network analyzers. They will also learn how to use some simple commercial microwave software.
