A Low-Cost Hands-On Laboratory for an Undergraduate Microwave Course

A low-operating-cost microwave laboratory for undergraduate students is presented, which emphasizes fundamental concepts while enabling students to gain practical experience with the design and measurement of microwave circuits. By training the students in the proper use of modern microwave test equipment, students are able to test hand-built circuits, made of adhesive copper tape, using modern vector network analyzers. Additional experiments with waveguides, and several systems applications, such as radar experiments, provide students with an exciting laboratory experience.
