After finalizing the course a certificate can be obtained (5 ECTS), which can be used when you start a full MSc program at Eindhoven University of Technology. The course is supported by a book written by the team of lecturers, which will be made available to the students. Throughout the course you will work on the design challenge in which you will design a complete active phased array system, including antennas, beamformers and amplifiers. Next to this, we will provide you hands-on experience in a design-challenge in which you will learn how to design microwave circuits and antennas. The web lectures are supported by many on-line quizzes in which you can practice the background theory. We will provide you with the required theoretical foundation as well as hands-on experience using state-of-the-art design tools. Future applications, like millimeter-wave 5G/beyond-5G wireless communications or automotive radar, require experts that can co-design highly integrated antenna systems that include both antennas and microwave electronics. The course combines both passive and active microwave circuits as well as antenna systems. This unique Master-level course provides you with in-depth know-how of microwave engineering and antennas.
