A novel course on microwave monolithic integrated circuit (MMIC) theory and characterization

A graduate-level course is described that addresses the theory of microwave monolithic integrated circuits (MMICs). Passive and active devices, as well as integrated functions, are theoretically and experimentally analyzed. Monolithic technology aspects are treated and laboratory experiments are developed for a better understanding of MMIC devices. The course is also combined with term projects dealing with specific monolithic design and measurement aspects. Its aim is to create a generation of electronic engineers with strong experience in monolithic devices and circuits. >
