Experimental-Set of Antenna and Microwave Laboratory for Undergrad Student

This paper presents an experimental-set of antenna and microwave circuit design laboratory for undergrad student. The proposed experimental-set provides insight into the antenna design, microwave filter circuit design and microwave matching circuit design. The fabrication and measurement skills and knowledge of student will be improved by using the proposed experimental-set. The proposed experimental-set consists of 1) microstrip patch antenna design and measurement, 2) filter circuit design, 3) matching circuit design and 4) standing wave. The proposed experimental-set is constructed by using a low cost component such as FR-4 printed circuit board (PCB), lumped and distributed elements. The details of equipments and the experimental procedure will be illustrated. The preliminary evaluation results of the student testing group show that the fabrication and measurement skills of student are significantly improved.
