LABORATORY MANUAL
Ten
major chapters cover the topics of transmission lines; waveguides and
resonant cavities; solid-state, vacuum tube and special devices; antennas,
noise, and practical applications. A total of thirteen laboratory
exercises are interwoven into these chapters to provide practical hands-on
learning experiences for the students. Several of these experiments
provide additional background material and calculations in topics ranging
from fiber optics to the use of the Smith Chart. The student will need
some background in trigonometry and algebra—including exponents and
logarithms—and should be familiar with scientific notation, which is
used extensively. All problems have accompanying solutions. Each chapter
concludes with a set of Review Questions and their answers.
