Microwave Engineering

This document provides details about the teaching scheme and syllabus for a Microwave Engineering course. The course is divided into 6 units covering topics such as transmission lines, network analysis, impedance matching, microwave sources and devices, passive and active components, and microwave measurements. Students will be assessed through in-semester assessments worth 30% and an end semester examination worth 70% of the total marks. The course uses 4 textbooks and 2 reference books and provides references to sections in the texts for each topic.
