525.484 Microwave Systems and Components

This course deals with the practical aspects of microwave systems and components. An overview of communication systems is followed by an introduction to radar systems and electronic systems operating in heavily interfering environments. The majority of the course treats the linear and nonlinear characteristics of individual components and their relation to system performance. Amplifiers, mixers, filters, and frequency sources are studied, as well as their interactions in cascade. Performance specification and testing are considered, using actual receiver designs as examples. Some homework problems may require use of computer-aided design software provided at the Dorsey Center.

Prerequisites: An undergraduate degree in electrical engineering or equivalent.
