Introduction to RF/microwave/millimetre-wave circuits and their applications. Review of Maxwell's Equations and basic wave-propagation concepts. Transmission-line theory and impedance-matching techniques. Practical planar transmission lines. Lumped and distributed elements. Microwave network analysis using impedance/admittance parameters, scattering parameters, and transmission-matrix methods. Analysis, design, numerical simulation, fabrication, and test of practical RF/microwave devices including power dividers/combiners, couplers, amplifiers, and filters.
