Rationale: This course provides basic knowledge of designing of transmission lines and wave
guides. The various modes of propagations through transmission line and wave guides are
included. Students will become familiar with the usage of active and passive components of
microwave systems. Measurements of various parameters of microwave systems are also part of
the subject.
