COURSE OFFERINGS
Fall 2026:
Radio Frequency and Microwave Technologies (ELEG 842)
Course Description: An introductory course in the analysis and design of passive RF components and microwave circuits. The goal is to bridge the gap between our theoretical EM courses and practical methods for the analysis, design and characterization of RF circuits. In addition to lecture based material students will be introduced to computational modeling and design, fabrication and experimental characterization of RF circuits. Several design projects will constitute a major part of the course.
Prerequisites: Students are expected to have an undergraduate background in electromagnetics or permission from the instructor.
Textbook: Class notes and optional texts:
- Microwave Engineering, by David Pozar, 4th Ed., John Wiley and Sons. (Hardcover: ISBN 978-0-470-63155-3, E-text: 978-1-118-29813-8)
- Microwave and RF Design, Michael Steer, Free from NC State (https://repository.lib.ncsu.edu/items/c920fb47-8458-433e-9cd8-b5cacf70e859)
Method of Instruction: Delivery is through live lectures; however, lecture notes will be posted each week on-line to accommodate students with busy travel schedules. Grades will be based from homework assignments and two exam grades.

Course Cancellations
Contact the course instructor or registrar to withdraw your nomination prior to the registration deadline to avoid being billed. After the deadline, you must contact the course instructor to cancel and determine whether your organization will be billed. We avoid charging whenever possible, but if we have contracted for the course and only have the minimum number required to pay the bill, we have no choice but to charge for late cancellations and “no-shows.”
