FIRST SEMESTER 2019-2020


COURSE HANDOUT PART II

Date: 01/08/2019
In addition to Part-I (General Handout for all courses appended to the timetable) this portion gives further specific details
regarding the course.

Course No. : EEE G581


Course Title : RF and Microwave Engineering
Instructor-in-charge : Sourav Nandi
1. Course description:
Maxwell's equations, Boundary conditions, Wave propagation, Theorems; Transmission line theory, Smith chart;
Waveguides, General solution of waves, Rectangular waveguide, Microwave guiding structures, Microwave
networks, S-parameters; Impedance matching, Stub tuning; Transmission line resonators, Rectangular waveguide
cavity resonator, Power dividers and directional couplers; Microwave filters.
2. Scope & Objective:
This course deals with radio frequency and microwave engineering, which in other words is the physical realization
of electromagnetic theory. The basic knowledge of the student in the field of engineering electromagnetics will be
developed to advanced levels. Low frequency systems can be analyzed using circuit theory, where concepts like
voltage, current and impedance are valid. At intermediate frequencies, the analysis needs inclusion of an additional
effect called reflection into circuit theory, which now becomes the transmission line theory. But at high frequencies,
the circuit / transmission line theory has to be replaced with field theory, in order to address the new effect of
radiation. Practical uses of certain theorems based on field theory will be described. Commercial electromagnetic
simulators will be introduced and the underlying electromagnetic principles will be revisited. Students are supposed
to approach the course from a research point of view also. In addition to relying on the subject oriented textbooks, the
students are advised to follow technical journal papers also. Skills like preparing and presenting technical report,
seminar, etc., will also be developed and evaluated.
