Prerequisites
General Prerequisites
1. Basic circuit theory
2. Basic analog electronics
3. Electromagnetic field theory
4. Electromagnetic wave propagation
Learning Outcomes
1. Thorough understanding of the transmission line concept, as opposed to common lumped circuits.
2. Ability to analyze simple and complex transmission line circuits by writing down equations and appropriate computer programs (e.g. Matlab).
3. Understanding and applying RF circuit design principles, including matching circuits, with the use of Smith Chart.
4. Understanding of guiding wave principles and physics in metallic and dielectric waveguides.
5. Designing and printing RF circuits (in a special laboratory session), based on planar transmission lines (microstrips, coplanar waveguides etc).
6. Understanding the concept of a microwave resonator.
General Competences
- Apply knowledge in practice
- Retrieve, analyse and synthesise data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
- Work autonomously
- Work in teams
- Be critical and self-critical
- Advance free, creative and causative thinking
Course Content (Syllabus)
Introduction to guiding structures. Guided waves. Guided waves in transmission lines. Transmission line termination. Smith Chart. Conjugate matching. Guided waves in rectangular and circular waveguides. Planar transmission lines (microstrip, stripline, coplanar waveguide). Dielectric waveguides. Quasi-planar transmission lines (finlines, h-guides). Coupled transmission lines and coupled mode theory. Impedance transformation and matching.
