Development of a Modern Microwave Laboratory for Undergrad- uate Education

一个现代化的大学生微波实验室正在建设中。实验室的主要目标是：(1)利用现代计算机控制的微波仪器开发一套实验室实验，用于教授射频和微波工程的基本概念；(2)训练学生了解现代无线电和微波频率测量的使用和局限性；(3)开发一套示范项目，利用微波网络分析仪的图形功能，加强射频和微波技术的教与学。其好处包括：(1)培养工业所需的微波工程师，(2)提高学生在电磁/微波领域攻读研究生的兴趣。

A modern microwave laboratory for undergraduates is being developed. The primary objectives of the laboratory are: (1) to develop a set of laboratory experiments using modern computer- controlled microwave instrumentation for teaching fundamental concepts in radio-frequency and microwave engineering, (2) to train students in the use and limitations of modern measurements at radio and microwave frequencies, and, (3) to develop a set of demonstration projects, utilizing the graphics capability of microwave network analyzers, for enhancing teaching-learning of radio frequency and microwave technologies. The benefits include: (1) training microwave engineers needed by industry, and (2) increase student interest in pursuing graduate studies in the electromagnetic/microwave area.
