Microwave engineering has been one of the major research areas in the department since its inception.  Over the years, courses offered within this area have evolved in such a way as to incorporate contemporary trends that could influence the advancement of our core research. There is a special demand to start a course catering to the present day Telecommunication industry.

This topic emphasizes on developing components and systems that would form part of any telecommunication system.  The course would be divided into four parts: (i) microwave engineering fundamentals, (ii) basic concepts of passive and active circuits, (iii) and antennas and (iv) numerical electromagnetic techniques.
