Microwave theory 2015
Microwave technique and theory are very important for all applications where electromagnetic waves with frequencies above 100 MHz are used. We find these applications in radio communication, circuit design, optical systems and particle accelerators. There will be a visit to MAXlab and lectures by guests from ESS and MAXlab.
The course covers the basic theory of transmission lines, waveguides, cavity resonators and optical fibers. The examination is by assignments and a project.
Information
New information regarding the course is given below:
-The instructions for the lab has been mailed to you. It can also be downloaded here.
- On the lecture Monday April 27 Göran Jönsson will give a presentation in preparation for the lab.
-The laboratory sessions will be April 28, 8.15-12.00 and April 29, 13.15-17.00. You can sign up for the lab by clicking at Sign up.
-Assignment 2 can now be downloaded. Go to home exercises.
-The deadline for assignment 1 is changed to April 10. Then there will be time for discussions of the assignment on the problem session on Wednesday, April 8.
-We need to change the time for the lab to April 28, 8.15-12.00 and April 29, 13.15-17.00. Please let me know if none of these times is possible.
-I have added some lecture notes for lecture 3 with some information on the Smith chart.
-The computer session on Tuesday 31 March is in the computer room Uranus. During the session the problems given here are to be solved using the finite element method program Comsol Multiphysics.
-A summer school in Particle accelerators will be given during August 17-23. It is counted as the course EIT105F Fundamentals on Accelerator Physics and is open for students from E, F and Pi at LTH. The course gives ECTS 3 credits. There will also be students from Uppsala University, Aarhus University, Jyväskylää University and the University of Oslo. Also Erasmus students can apply to the school. They need to check with their home university if they can get ECTS credits for the course. You find more details, and the application page, on the course WEB page.
