ECE 5321/6323MICROWAVE ENGINEERING II

Thanks for being in my class this semester!

I hope you have enjoyed Microwave Engineering II. I've enjoyed having you in the class. This semester has just given you a taste of the many different devices and configurations available, and there are so many more. I hope you have a chance to build and experiment with RF and microwave devices in your future career. And when you do, please send me a note about the cool things you are doing! I'll be glad to hear.

In the last two weeks of class, you will be doing your final project Final Project (100 points) , and ECE 6323 students will also be doing a final tutorial Module 9: Tutorial for ECE6323 students (100 points) .

Also check the module list below, and the assignments you've already turned in. I've clarified how many points you should turn in for each module. ECE5321 students should get a total of 600 points (including the final project), and ECE6323 students should get 700 points (including the final project and final tutorial).

Everything is due May 10, so I can have grades done May 17.

I'll be available for questions during office hours and class time through the end of April, and Dr. Smith will be available Tues/Thur 4-6 until the end of April. Use the same zoom link we've been using all semester. After April 27, I'll still be available but won't be keeping the same regular office hours. Email me cfurse@ece.utah.edu, and we'll set a time.

I hope you have enjoyed this semester. May the electromagnetic force be with you. Have a great summer. Dr. Furse
