| Laboratory practical |
The work will be performed individually or in pairs of students. With the aid of different microwave measurement instruments/components, there will be analyzed passive and active microwave devices / circuits mostly in microstrip technology. It will be defined and evaluated different figures of merit and other tools that will be used in the experimental characterization of these components. An introduction to Vector Network Analyzers with be provided to the student, besides description of their use and calibration procedure .
Students will find in Moovi support documentation.
These practises are designed to aid in adquiring competencies CG3, CG4, CG5, CG9, CE23, CE24, CE25, CT2, CT3 y CT4. |
| Practices through ICT |
The work will be performed individually or in small teams of 2 students. With the aid of a commercial microwave circuits simulator, there will be analyzed different passive components (matching networks, filters, couplers, etc.) and active semiconductor devices (diodes and transistors), and simple amplifier circuits, in agreement with Chapter 8. There will be defined and evaluated diverse figures of merit and other tools that will be in used in the analysis of these components. Also, exercise resolution will be described, to complete the one described in the lectures.
Students will find in Moovi support documentation and files. Besides, they will have available a procedure to obtain a simulator licence for their PCs, through an agreement between UVIGO and the simulator provider.
These practises are designed to help in adquiring competencies: CG3, CG5, CE23, CE24 y CE25. |
| Lecturing |
It will be given in a classroom with the aid of a slate board and a video projector. Most of the concepts in the subject Topics will be described in detail and explained. Application of these concepts will be supplied through exercises resolution, during lectures, and in the practices (ICT and laboratory).
Students will find in Moovi support documentation.
These sessions are designed to help in adquiring competencies CG3, CG5, CG4, CE23, CE24 y CE25. |
