Lecture: 12:30 - 1:20 MWF, Room EL 109
Labs: Open, as arranged
Required Text: Microwave Transistor Amplifiers: Analysis and Design, 2nd edition, Gonzalez, Prentice Hall, 1997, ISBN 0-13-254335-4.
Required Supplements: Microwave Engineering, 2nd edition, Pozar. John Wiley & Sons, 1998. AKA Pozar-M. This is the text from Microwave Engineering I, so you should already have it.
Recommended Supplements: Microwave and RF Design of Wireless Systems, Pozar. John Wiley & Sons, 2001. [AKA Pozar-W] SPICE, 2nd edition, Roberts & Sedra, Oxford University Press, 1997.
Recommended Software: We will primarily use three pieces of software:
MATLAB, from The MathWorks;
ADS, or Advanced Design System, by Agilent Technologies;
and
PSPICE, formerly of the University of California at Berkeley,
[http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu]. You should use the version in the lab, PSPICE AD, which is by Cadence.

Syllabus: This course is based on chapters 3 through 5 of the course text (Microwave Transistor Amplifiers, 2nd edition, by Gonzalez) with additional topics selected from Microwave Engineering, 2nd edition, by Pozar.
Grading: We are going to have two exams(2 x 25%), homework (25%) and a programming project (25%) that will take place over the course of the semester.
Note: Course notes, handouts, and miscellaneous information and
material will be posted to the ECE 5830/6830 web site periodically. Please
check there frequently for last minute changes, solutions, etc.
