Course Overview
The Microwave engineering and antennas online course is offered by the education provider Coursera and developed by the Eindhoven University of Technology. The course study is about engineering involved in microwaves and the analysis of the working of antennas. The programme is scheduled for a period of eight weeks consisting of content worth thirty eight hours. The course is instructed by lecturers Bart Smolders, Ulf Johannsen, Domine Leenaerts who are from diverse backgrounds of academic and industrial nature from the Centre for wireless technology Eindhoven(CWT/e).
The Microwave engineering and antennas online training is done by experimental techniques and the course provides the learners with the knowledge about the process of designing microwave circuits and antennas and the design challenge where the students are given the opportunity to create an active phased array system. The modules in the course are delivered to the candidates through innovative web lectures, readings, online quizzes and a book is made available for the students for their study.

Coursera offers a course completion certificate to the candidates who have finished their course and paid for the certificate.
What you will learn
The Microwave engineering and antennas online programme equips the learners with the expertise to construct an active phased array system which consists of amplifiers, beamformers and antennas. The candidates will learn to co-design highly integrated antenna systems combining the antennas and the microwave electronics. The course provides an introduction to the current applications and trends along with the insights on antenna theory and phased array systems. The knowledge about passive microwave circuits, covering transmission-line based circuits which cover impedance equivalent, power combiners and filters is gained through the program. The Microwave engineering and antennas online training helps the students to comprehend the concepts of active microwave circuit, extension towards amplifiers and low-noise amplifiers. The candidates can enhance their knowledge and gain skills of creating electrical designs, design processing skills, Nondestructive testing skills and familiarise them with the principles of electrical engineering.
