This course is completed by collecting points homework assignments and either simulation or design project. 100% participation to any of these activities is not compulsory, but the final grade will be determined based on the amount of points collected from the learning activities. There is no final exam. |
Osaamistavoitteet
After passing the course, students know how to design, implement and characterize passive two-port and multi-port microwave transmission line components. They know how to summarize the relevant design details and performance data in a concise and cohesively composed technical report and how to communicate the relevant engineering concepts to others.

Ohjeita opiskelijalle osaamisen tasojen saavuttamiseksi
Although homework submission are optional part of the course, any effort in working on them is expected to deepen the knowledge on the matters discussed in the contact teaching. It is also possible to pass the course by only submitting the homework solutions, but this can only yield the highest final grade of 3. Higher grades are attainable only by completing either a simulation or design project. Everyone in the course are required to participate in peer review of the project reports. There is no final exam in this course.
