TRAINIG GOALS
The aim of the course is two-fold:
- to provide physical insight of photonic and microwave components;
- to offer the theoretical and practical tools to design and measure basic antennas.
Those aims are achieved through a combination of lecturers, tutorials, and laboratory activities.
