Microwave Engineering

Microwave engineering is the field that focuses on the design and application of devices and systems that use microwave radiation, which is electromagnetic waves with frequencies typically ranging from 1 GHz to 300 GHz. This branch of engineering involves principles from electrodynamics and classical electromagnetism, studying how microwaves propagate, interact with materials, and can be harnessed for technologies like radar, communication systems, and cooking (e.g., microwave ovens). Engineers in this field work on components like antennas, filters, and amplifiers, ensuring they perform efficiently and effectively at microwave frequencies.
