Focuses on practical realization of microwave and radio frequency circuits, with emphasis on both passive and active design. Topics include network analysis, transmission line theory, impedance matching and tuning, filters, couplers, power dividers, amplifiers, and oscillators. Circuit design and performance optimization will be done using computer-aided design software. Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hours and 2 Practicum/Lab hoursPrerequisite(s): EE 301 or PHYS 356. Note: Students with credit for EE 402 will not receive credit for this course.
