EECE 5120 Microwave Engineering and Antennas


4 semester hours

Studies of the theories of microwave engineering and antennas for applications in high-frequency systems and wireless communications. Topics include fundamental electromagnetic theories, waves and propagation, microwave circuit theory, transmission lines, waveguides, scattering parameters, ABCE parameters, network analysis, impedance transformation and matching, radiation, antenna characteristics such as radiation pattern, directivity, gain, input impedance, polarization, effective area, bandwidth, and antenna temperature, Friis transmission equation and radar range equation, typical antennas such as line, loop, microstrip, horn, and reflector antennas, antenna arrays and mutual coupling. Use of EDA software for analysis and design of high-frequency devices will be included.
