Course Introduction: The course presents basically the application of the Electromagnetic-1 and 2 the
students have studies before and is the pre requisite of important advance courses like Mobile and
Satellite Communications and Radar and Navigation Systems. The course basically introduces the
concept of wireless communications in microwave spectrum, electromagnetic propagation and
antennae.
Course Objectives: Modern wireless communications is mostly done over microwave spectrum,
satellite communications from the beginning was over microwaves but the modern trends of mobile
communications are also shifting to the microwaves, the WiMax, Mobile Fi or IMT-A standards that
derive the 4th 4.5th and 5th generation of Mobile communications are on microwave frequencies, apart
from that existing mobile architecture has much on microwaves as well.
The major objective of this course is to make the students ready for the challenges that the future
wireless communications technologies are offering. Enable them to understand the core concepts on
which they can develop the basis of the mobile and satellite communications.
It is also considered as the major prerequisite of radar system since it is the most classical application
of Microwaves, so it is one of the major objectives of the course to get the student prepared for the
advance concepts of radar and navigation systems.

Learning Outcomes:
Practical Outcomes: Students will be familiar with the waveguides, waveguide plumbing and a variety
of antennae; will be able to design a Microwave Line of Sight link and will be able to design different
kinds of antennae.
Theoretical Outcomes: Among the theoretical topics the students will have thorough knowledge of
classical and modern microwave applications will be familiar with the propagation of microwaves,
antenna designing, array designing and variety of microwave devices.
