This course introduces the analysis and design of microwave components and systems. Topics include: modeling of high frequency circuits; transmission lines; scattering parameters; impedance matching; passive microwave components; amplifiers, mixers and oscillators; noise in receivers; elemental antennas and simple and phased arrays; communication links – microwave land, cellular and satellite systems; performance and link budget analysis. The laboratory work is design oriented and implements the lecture material. (0/0/0/27/27) PREREQUISITES: ELEC 353, ELEC 381 or ENPH 332 (PHYS 332) COREQUISITE: ELEC 487
