Subject: RF and microwave engineering (17.EK332 )
Students will acquire fundamental knowledge in the field of RF and microwave engineering. They will learn about the specificities of electromagnetic wave propagation in the field of high frequency. Also, they will be familiar with principles of operation of passive components and circuits used in modern telecommunication and radio systems. Training students to analyze the propagation of radio and microwaves, as well as microwave networks through solving practical problems.
Fundamental theoretical knowledge about the propagation of electromagnetic waves in the field of high frequency and specific characteristics of components and circuits used in modern telecommunication and radio systems. Capability to understand principles of operation, potentials and limitations of components and circuits used in the state of the art and next generation of wireless systems (5G). Ability to independently analyze the propagation of radio and microwaves, as well as microwave networks. Acquiring knowledge necessary as a basis for other courses.
