AWR Helps Students To Understand Real-World Microwave Design Concepts Intuitively
The Electrical and Electronics (EE) Engineering students at Atilim University – both for graduate and undergraduate level degrees - attend a semester long RF and Microwave Engineering course. The aim of the course is to prepare the students for the sequence of follow-on course work and ultimately for their future careers in the field of RF and microwave engineering. The curriculum for the RF and Microwave Engineering course is structured so as to strike a balance between theory and laboratory exercises - specifically modeling, design and simulation of microwave components through the use of AWR's Microwave Office, Visual System Simulator and AXIEM software. Additionally, students are required to fabricate the resultant circuits using the university PCB prototyping system as well as validate the end product performance with measurements in the lab.
The result is success for the students and the university. "We chose AWR RF/microwave design tools for this course because of its user-friendly design environment. It makes it easy for students to start designing actual circuits based on the theory first learned in the classroom. We also know that AWR models are accurate as we witness first hand good correlation between AWR predicted simulation results and the measurements of the fabricated circuits. The combination of theory, hands-on simulation exercise and physical prototype production has shown the students that theory and real-world applications can and should agree!"
