My main objectives is to go in depth with the covered material. Therefore, the number of topics is rather small. My goal is to ensure that students have a deep understanding in the foundational aspects of microwave engineering. From that, they have the "keys" that open the door to any topic in the field of microwave engineering.
In preparation for the course, I have used the following references in the following order:
Pozar, David M. Microwave engineering. John wiley & sons, 2011. (This is the assigned textbook and the heavily used one. )
Collin, Robert E. Foundations for microwave engineering. John Wiley & Sons, 2007. (Old but gold!)
Steer, Michael. Fundamentals of microwave and RF design. North Carolina State University Libraries, 2019.
Notes of Prof. James Stiles (https://www.ittc.ku.edu/~jstiles/723/eecs723outline.htm)
Mongia, Rajesh, Inder Jit Bahl, and Prakash Bhartia. "RF and microwave coupled-line circuits.
There might be some typos. If you notice any, please email me on malhassoun[at]kfupm[dot]edu[dot]sa.
Most of the figures were taken from Pozar's.
Slides do not have the solutions, I do not share the solutions.
There is a huge overlap with EE 407; Therefore, these courses are crosslisted.
