| Learning Outcome: | After completing the module, students will be familiar with the basic topics of microwave electronics and the methods and tools of circuit design. In addition to the theoretical knowledge, they will also know the basics of the practical use of common design and evaluation tools such as circuit simulators, network analyzer measurements and measurement evaluation with Python or Matlab. Furthermore, they can reflect on and structure their work and work independently in teams. |
| Contents: | This module covers advanced topics in the field of microwave electronics:
- Extraction of the small-signal equivalent circuit of a microwave transistor
- Design of a power amplifier
- Design of a bandpass filter in microstrip technology
Basic prior knowledge of transmission line theory, S-parameters, and transistor fundamentals is necessary. For this module, students learn in the form of three largely independent projects. Presence at the seminar in the first week of the lecture period is required. |

| Module Examination: | Continuous Assessment (MCA) |
| Assessment Mode for Module Examination: | - 3 projects, which are weighted equally for the calculation of the overall grade, and each evaluated as follows:
- Regular presence at and active contribution to the discussions in the seminar (30%)
- Results of the sub-projects, demonstrated by submission of the extraction, simulation or design file (circuit simulator, Matlab or Python) (35%)
- A final report of max. 10 pages (35%)
