Prerequisites
Electromagnetics, fundamentals, Physics, Calculus, Linear Algebra.

Learning outcomes
Knowledge and understanding of the methodologies to analyze and design a microwave circuit. Learning takes place through lectures interspersed with exercises and experiments.

Program
Properties of transmission lines: microstrips and striplines. Linear junctions and their matrices. Physical realizability. Losslessness, reciprocity and simmetry. Bandwidth. Two port junctions: adapters, filters, isolators and phase shifters. Three-port junctions. Symmetry. Y and T junctions. Diplexers. Coupled lines. Directional couplers. Network Analyzer.

Development of the examination
LEARNING EVALUATION METHODS
Oral examination. The test consists of two questions among the main topics of the course.

LEARNING EVALUATION CRITERIA
The exam is aimed at evaluating the candidate's skill in the subject, according to the following parameters: knowlegde, understanding, implementation, presentation.

LEARNING MEASUREMENT CRITERIA
The purpose of the examination is to assess the candidate's skill. There are three reference levels: base - acquistion of procedures for the solution of canonical problems, as those of the written test. Oral presentation sufficient with a few uncertaine

FINAL MARK ALLOCATION CRITERIA
The mark is allocated on the basis of the acquired knowledge. A score ranging from 18/30 and 23/30 is attributed to the level 'base', a score ranging from 24/30 to 27/30 to the intermediate level, and a score between 28/30 and 30/30 to the top level. A candidate is awarded cum laude when they are able to deal even with new problems in a fully atonomous way.
