This subject provides the student with the basic tools to analyze components and analog subsystems (active and passive) that operate in the band of the microwaves, as well as to evaluate his specifications and performance. The microwave subsystems are part, among others, of the modern communications systems transceivers (cellular telephony, wireless networks, satellite communications, and so on), thus the importance for the student to get some knowledge and background about these components. On the other hand, this subject complements the knowledge the student has, due to previous subjects, in electronics for communications, since when working in the microwave range, we need to use different tools for an accurate circuit analysis and design.
English Friendly subject: International students may request from the teachers: a) resources and bibliographic references in English, b) tutoring sessions in English, c) exams and assessments in English.
