Requirements
This course is completed by collecting points homework assignments and either simulation or design project. There is no exam. Neither of the projects are compulsory. There will be great flexilibity for the students to optimize their work load with respect to the target grade. Details will be provided in the opening lecture.
Completion parts must belong to the same implementation
Learning Outcomes
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.
