- Abstract
In China, Microwave Technology is a specialised basic course for the undergraduate student whose major is electronics and information engineering. At Beihang University (BUAA) it is arranged in the first semester of the junior year (i.e. the third of a four-year course) and mainly includes transmission line theory, the theory of waveguides, microstrip transmission lines, the analysis of microwave networks and microwave passive components. In this paper, a problem-based introduction to microwave technology is presented, with the aim of increasing the students' interest and motivation to study this course. A pyramidal course structure for electrical engineering undergraduates in BUAA is then proposed, and the course orientation and outline of the Microwave Technology course incorporated within it. Questionnaire-based surveys demonstrate the positive effect of the course.
