explain the ideal long line function ant its properties
know the basic function of diodes and transistors
Skills
represent the simple impedance (admittance) in Smith chart
be familiar with any PCB design system
design the linear frequency filters
have the summary knowledge of the real R,L and C simple circuits models
learning outcomes
Knowledge
describe the basic parameters of the two port which is defined with scattering parameters and their representation in Smith chart
have a summary of planar microwaves line basic performance and properties
describe the basic planar inductances and capacitors and their using limitations.
explain the function of the simple planar distributed microwave circuits and their using limitations
have knowledges of simple active RF and microwave circuits and their application
know the function and construction of the important active microwave diodes and transistors
the knowledge would be verify during the semestral work solving
Skills
