Course Code
Academic Year
This course combines microwave technology and fibre optics technology to take advantage of many of the same properties like reflection, refraction and propagation of electromagnetic waves though waveguides that governs both technologies. Also studied will be differences between the technologies: very different wavelengths, and types, and sizes, of waveguides will be introduced. To enhance learning, detectors, waveguides and other components, and experiments will also be a part of the course. For the microwave portion the principles and unique techniques employed in the telecommunication field will be studied. In addition, selection of suitable waveguides, impedance matching of discontinuities, return loss and noise measurement are also examined.
