Microstrip Line and Network Parameters 
Review of transmission line theory. Network parameters such as Y-, Z-, S-  and ABCD-matrices. Analysis and design of microstrip line circuits.

Power Dividers and Couplers 

Even- and odd-mode analysis of parallel coupled lines. Analysis of Wilkinson power dividers/combiners, branch-line couplers, coupled-line and rat-race  couplers.

Filters 

Distributed-element filters on TEM-wave transmission line. Richards' Theorem and Kuroda identities. Filter design theory on coupled resonators.  TEM-wave filter synthesis design. Design and implementation of parallel coupled-line bandpass filters.

For aspiring engineers and Information technologists who wish to improve their knowledge and skills in the broad area of communication engineering.
