Project-Based Rf/Microwave Education, Richard L. Campbell, Branimir Pejcinovic

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications and Presentations

Immediate application of learned fundamentals to laboratory work is standard practice in Electrical Engineering Education, but student explorations of basic RF/Microwave circuits at the transistor-electromagnetics level are particularly challenging. This paper describes an interconnected set of basic electromagnetic and transistor-level RF/Microwave modules that may be assembled into a short range wireless link or modulated scatterer radar system. These Analog/RF/Microwave building blocks are used across the Senior and Graduate Level curriculum.
