Introduction to Microwave Engineering • Microwaves: 300 MHz ~ 300 GHz (1 mm ≤ λ ≤1 m) • 1mm ≤ λ ≤ 10mm Millimeter waves • Because of the high frequency (short wavelength), standard circuit theory generally cannot be used directly to solve microwave network problems.
Introduction to Microwave Engineering • Microwave components: distributed elements (the phase of a voltage or current changes significantly over the physical extent of the device)
Applications • Antenna gain is proportional to the electrical size of the antenna. • A more bandwidth can be realized at higher frequencies.
Applications • Communication Systems • Radar Systems • Environmental remote sensing • Medical systems • Cellular telephones systems • Global positioning system (GPS) • Satellite systems
Applications • Wireless local area network • Microwave telemetry systems • Microwave telecommand systems
