Introduction to Microwave Electronics
Einführung in die Mikrowellenelektronik
6 CPWinterEN
Prerequisites
Recommended, as written
Knowledge of topics of physics and electrical engineering at a level corresponding to the first four semesters of a Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or corresponding to the level of a Bachelor’s degree in physics
Contents
• Bipolar and field-effect transistor physics and operation • Basic electronic concepts • Transmission-line theory • Linear multiport theory • Electronic noise
Learning outcomes
After successfully completing the module, students are acquainted with basic principles of microwave electronics. They not only know how to acquire scientific knowledge but are also able to exploit their knowledge of individual physical phenomena to develop technical solutions in a systematic engineering way.
Assessment
• Written exam, 90 min.
