Microwave Integrated Circuits
This learning track covers a comprehensive study of microwave integrated circuits, impedance matching, and the Smith Chart. It delves into the field of electrical engineering, dealing with signals having a frequency range. The track explains the key aspect of microwave engineering, which is the wavelength of the signal, and discusses the TEM, TE, and TM waves. It further explains the distributed line effect and how to deal with a circuit with distributed elements. The track also covers the concept of impedance and its various definitions, the relationship between reflection coefficient and load impedance, and the significance of VSWR in microwave matching. The track concludes with an explanation of the Smith Chart, its applications, and the methods of impedance matching, including the use of quarter-wave transformers and shorted stubs. The track also covers the comprehensive understanding of microwave components and filter design, amplifier design, stability, and efficiency, and the intricate design and stability of oscillators.
