Eec403: Microwave Engineering

This course covers microwave engineering topics across 5 modules. Module I discusses transferred electron devices like GUNN diodes and their operation. Module II covers avalanche transit time devices such as IMPATT diodes and their physical structures and principles of operation. Module III examines microwave linear beam tubes including klystrons and reflex klystrons. Module IV analyzes helix traveling wave guides and crossed-field tubes like magnetrons. Module V focuses on microwave measurements and setups for measurements of frequency, power, VSWR, and other parameters. The course relies on textbooks by Liao, Das, and other references for microwave and radar engineering.
