ABOUT THE COURSE
Microwave Engineering Circuits is a course designed for introducing the field of Microwave
Engineering to students, engineers and academics. Sice at microwave frequencies, the distributed
circuit effects become very prominent, new circuit theories based on Maxwells laws have to be
introduces. Further new circuit design techniques as well as new circuit elements are also
introduced. The first part of the course deals with the basics of theory. In the later part, the design of
various microwave devices like couplers, circulators, filters and amplifiers is introduced.
