Microwave Engineering Laboratory Manual

This text intends to supplement Dr. Wigle's University of Colorado at Colorado Springs Microwave Measurements Laboratory, ECE 4150 and ECE 5150. The content is written for undergraduate and graduate courses in applied microwave engineering and laboratory measurements. The intent is not to replace textbooks describing electromagnetics field theory, but focus upon real-world applied applications, experiments and measurements. Therefore, minimal theory will be provided within verbal course content. This material is designed for students having successfully completed two undergratuate courses in electromagnetic field theory. The course should expose students to equipment and techniques used in microwave experiments, as well as the design of microwave circuits and microwave experiments. Suitable for basic laboratory courses in electromagnetics. - Rules-of-thumb & practical info. - Essential electromagnetic basics to perform experiments. - Microwave component parameters. - Decibel math.
