Microwave circuits

Lecturer:

Tutor:

Supervisor:

Department of Electromagnetic Field

Synopsis:

The major aim of these lectures is to explain to students the philosophy and principals of microwave circuits (MC), both from the theoretical and application point of view. In details, the analyses and syntheses of MC based on scattering parameters and oriented graphs is described. Basic types of MC, both passive and active (e.g. attenuators, couplers, isolators and circulators, modulators, oscillators, mixers and amplifiers) is discussed.
