Week 4 Assignment

This document contains 10 multiple choice questions about microwave integrated circuits. It covers topics like the characteristics of different microwave components including circulators, power dividers, directional couplers and their S-parameters. Other concepts addressed include antenna duplexing using circulators, improving isolation in Wilkinson power dividers using resistors, introducing capacitive effects in rectangular waveguides using metal strips, properties of rat race junctions and conditions for designing reciprocal and lossless 3-port networks.
