RF, Microwave, and Antennas¶
Track position¶
Network parameters, matching, noise, receivers, microwave circuits, and antennas with instrumentation, spectrum, and RF safety.
Mainline audit review
- Analysis and Design Principles of Microwave Antennas: The official identity is Analysis and Design Principles of Microwave Antennas, not a general microwave-engineering course, and there is no open lab or code. The resource manifest still marks the superseded www-host fetch for review and needs a fresh evidence crawl.
Recommended prerequisite tracks¶
Suggested order¶
- RF and Millimeter-Wave Circuit Design
- Analysis and Design Principles of Microwave Antennas — Audit review
Courses¶
| Course | Institution | Role | Tier | Practice coverage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RF and Millimeter-Wave Circuit Design | Eindhoven University of Technology | Mainline | A | Complete |
| Analysis and Design Principles of Microwave Antennas | IIT Kharagpur / NPTEL | Mainline — Audit review | A | Partial |

How to choose¶
- For a first systematic pass, start with audit-passed mainline courses; read the limitation before using a record marked “Audit review,” and rarely take parallel alternatives.
- Tiers measure public-resource completeness and self-study executability, not institutional or instructor prestige.
- Use supplements only to close a specific topic, tool, or practice gap.
Track completion¶
- Explain the core concepts, models, and methods of RF, Microwave, and Antennas
- Produce reproducible exercises, experiments, or designs with explicit checks
