EE407: Microwave Engineering

Welcome to the Webpage of EE 407

General Notes:

• My main objectives is to go in depth with the covered material. Therefore, the number of topics is rather small. My goal is to ensure that students have a deep understanding in the foundational aspects of microwave engineering. From that, they have the "keys" that open the door to any topic in the field of microwave engineering.

• In preparation for the course, I have used the following references in the following order:

  • Pozar, David M. Microwave engineering. John wiley & sons, 2011. (This is the assigned textbook and the heavily used one. )

  • Collin, Robert E. Foundations for microwave engineering. John Wiley & Sons, 2007. (Old but gold!)

  • Steer, Michael. Fundamentals of microwave and RF design. North Carolina State University Libraries, 2019.

  • Notes of Prof. James Stiles (https://www.ittc.ku.edu/~jstiles/723/eecs723outline.htm) 

  • Mongia, Rajesh, Inder Jit Bahl, and Prakash Bhartia. "RF and microwave coupled-line circuits.

• There might be some typos. If you notice any, please email me on malhassoun[at]kfupm[dot]edu[dot]sa.

• Most of the figures were taken from Pozar's. 

• Slides do not have the solutions, I do not share the solutions.
