The course aims to introduce students to the fundamentals of microwave engineering. Specifically, the basic concepts of microwave circuits are introduced, highlighting their differences from traditional electronic circuits operating at lower frequencies.
The main topics covered in the course include:
- Guided propagation of electomagnetic waves (3h)
- Transmission lines employed at microwaves frequencies (2h)
- Linear analysis of multi-port networks (1h)
- Introduction to microwave circuits (1h)
- Passive devices conceived for microwave frequencies (2h)
- Microwave filters (3h)
- Active devices at microwaves (3h).
- Overview of CAD for microwave circuits (1h)

Breve descrizione
Il corso si propone di introdurre lo studente ai fondamenti dell'ingegneria delle microonde. In particolare, vengono introdotti i concetti di base relativi ai circuiti a microonde, evidenziandone le differenze rispetto ai circuiti elettronici tradizionali operanti a frequenze più basse.
Gli argomenti principali trattati nel corso riguardano:
- Propagazione guidata di onde elettromagnetiche (3h)
- Principali linee di transmission impiegate alle frequenze delle microonde (2h)
- Analisi lineare di reti multi-porta (1h)
- Introduzione ai circuiti a microonde (1h)
- Circuiti passivi a microonde (2h)
- Filtri a microonde (3h)
- Dispositivi e circuiti attivi a microonde (3h).
- Panoramica delle tecniche CAD per circuiti a microonde (1h)
