\newcommand\catalogDesc{Continuation of study of microwave passive devices and network theory covered in ECE 8670. Analysis and design of two and three terminal microwave solid-state devices and ciricuits such as mixers, frequency multipliers, oscillators, control circuits and amplifiers are covered. Included is the study of microwave filters, systems and ferromagnetic devices.}

\newcommand\courseExpectation{Modern communication systems, regardless of whether the system is primarily digital or analog,
all require high frequency systems to extract or inject the appropriate signal into the transmission medium. The course objectives of ECE 8671 are to follow up on the theoretical material in the previous course (ECE 8670 Microwave Theory and Techniques I) and to provide you with the additional tools the modern microwave engineer uses in the analysis and design of microwave circuits and systems. These tools include a theoretical background in transmission lines and network theory, transmission line filter theory, solid-state devices and circuits, and knowledge of microwave simulation tools. Various in-class and out of class assignments will be used to help you in understanding and using these tools and their application in various problems.

Homework will be assigned, usually each week, with solutions available the next week.  Homework will not be graded.  There will be a number of tests that will total 70\% of your total grade. Another 15\% of your grade will be based on your performance on CAD simulation projects or other assignments such as technical paper reviews and selected problems. Finally, 15\% of your grade will be based on a final design project. Late submissions will have a 10\% reduction in grade for each week, starting the day after the assignment is due, the assignment is late.

\newcommand\HWandLabPolicy{You will also be responsible for use of CAD software for completing a number of assignments and projects as part of the course requirements. Instructions for obtaining and licensing a full version of Applied Wave Research Microwave Office (MWO) for the duration of the course will be available via the BlackBoard webpage.  However, you are free to use any other CAD package that performs S-parameter calculations.

Various assignments will be made and will require a BlackBoard upload by the due date.  Late submission policy will apply.}

Your policy should address your general stance on recording of class sessions and the circumstances under which recording will be allowed or prohibited. If you generally prohibit recording, yet allow recording of certain classes for some reason, then you should notify all students that those classes will be recorded.
