Course Contents:
Part 1 Passive microwave components:
Calculation of the properties of simple passive components (microstrip line, filter, resonator, capacitor, inductance) for MMICs
Part 2 Active microwave components:
* Semiconductor material systems: properties, fabrication and requirements
* Contacts to semiconductor devices: properties and characteristics
* Charge carrier transport: characteristics and scattering processes
* Field Effect Transistor (FET) and heterostructure transistors (HEMTs)
Part 3 Active microwave circuits (main part):
* Wave parameter and S-parameter
* FET amplifier: operation, equivalent circuit, gain, matching circuit, stability and circuit implementation
* Oscillator design
* Mixer design
Applications of these circuits range from communication systems such as cell phones to satellite transceivers as well as high-frequency souces up to Terahertz.
