“…As Gupta et al [4] state, these simulators encourage building realistic design examples, verification of these designs, evaluation of the effects of real-life parameters on circuit characteristics before investing in the actual fabrication of the circuits, and building case studies that bridge the gap between classroom instruction of microwaves and the practice of microwaves in industry. According to Gupta et al [4], for the first time in the history of microwave education, the aim of providing classroom instruction that is 100% relevant to the practice in industry is becoming possible.…”

“…Additionally, Web-based and Web-assisted education alternatives are a new paradigm that is started to play an increasingly significant role in the instructional design efforts in these fields [4]. In order to prepare engineers satisfying the requirements of the industry, new approaches need to be reflected and emphasized in the curriculum of these courses.…”

“…Parallel to these developments, a report by an industry/education partnership (Global Wireless Education Consortium-GWEC) involving more than 30 universities and 9 large companies in the wireless sector in the USA has identified new requirements for such professionals as well as noted a lack of Radio Frequency (RF) specialists [3]. Accordingly, several related educational programs have begun offering courses covering electromagnetic, RF, antenna, and microwave concepts, which are important components of any Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EE), computer-related educational curriculum [4] and technical colleges, which are usually supported by hands-on experimental environments. For example, a remote laboratory on frequency modulation experiment Correspondence to N. Cagiltay (nergizcagiltay@yahoo.com,nergiz@atilim.edu.tr).…”

ABSTRACT:In this study, a curriculum model including recent developments and technologies in the Radio Frequency (RF) and Microwave Engineering field by using a blended approach is proposed. This study covers the description of the content of theoretical and hands on applications, the integration model of the technological tools into the proposed curriculum, and the instructional approaches used in the new course design. The main goal of the course is to prepare students for future professional careers in RF and Microwave Engineering by supporting them with new instructional technologies. The secondary goal of the course is to better prepare the students for the sequence of senior courses in the Electrical and Electronics Engineering program of Atilim University. The course is structured with a balance between theory and laboratory, including remote and in lab measurement experiments as well as modeling and designing microwave components by means of computer tools and design fabrication. The newly designed course is implemented at the Atilim University. The study also reports the first semester implementation.

“…They are re-using for developing the upper and lower half of the BMN structure for time saving. With this proposed approach, the required electrical length of the phase shifter and feed line is determined easily without running the electromagnetic simulator [6]. It is because electromagnetic simulator is generally consuming a lot of simulation time.…”

Abstract:In this work, a rapid and simple approach is facilitating the design of Butler matrix beam-forming network (BMN). Generally, BMN structure is occupying huge area of printed circuit board and required large amount of mesh cells for better simulation accuracy. The proposed approach has reduced design steps and improves the simulation time. Although, designers can use better mainframe and graphics processing unit in order to improve the simulation time, the devices come with simulation cost. The entire BMN is divided into smaller and simple structure as the standard re-use electromagnetic model in order to study the parasitic elements and essential actual phase progression.
