Microwave Theory

ETEN01, 7,5 credits, A (Second Cycle)

Valid for: 2016/17
Decided by: Education Board A
Date of Decision: 2016-04-05

General Information

Elective for: E4-fh, F4, F4-f, F4-hn, F4-aft
Language of instruction: The course will be given in English on demand

Aim

The course gives an understanding of the physics of transmission lines, waveguides, and optical fibers. It also gives the microwave technique used in accelerators. Many of the applications are taken from the accelerators that are to be used at MAX IV and ESS. The course gives an introduction to the analytical and numerical methods that are used in microwave technique. The students get skills in measurements with network analyser. They also get experience in treating extensive applied problems and projects.
