Course Description 

This course is designed to provide a comprehensive introduction to the measurement techniques in the microwave/mm-wave and optical domain. This course also includes the laboratory for the hands on experience with the instruments like network analyzer, spectrum analyzer, signal generator, to name a few. By the end of the course, students should be able to gain expertise in the measurement of microwave/mm-wave and optical devices (passive and active).
