Title Hands-on electromagnetics: microstrip circuit and antenna design laboratories at USU
Date 1999
Description New laboratories for microstrip circuit and antenna design have recently been developed at Utah State University. These laboratories are used to provide hands-on design, fabrication, and testing experience in two senior/graduate level design comes -- ECE 6130 Microwave Engineering and ECE 6170 Antenna Design. HPEESOF Libra software and other available software is used heavily throughout these courses. New facilities for fabrication and testing have been developed, including a low-cost holder for connection of microstrip circuits to the network analyzer, use of an LPKF circuit-board mill to mill circuits, and simple methods to prototype designs using copper tape. Tutorials to quickly teach the students to use the HPEESOF Libra software and HP measuring equipment are available on the web. The laboratory exercises, design of the low-cost holder, tutorials, and examples of completed student design projects are available on the web.
