課程目標
 Advance in microwave guiding structures can be generally divided into several eras. First is the hollow waveguides of metallic enclosures that dominated microwave circuit designs before and after World War II. Second is the research and development of planar and quasi-planar waveguides that shaped today’s electronics industry and constituted the backbones of all miniaturized apparatus. This era began in parallel with the development of monolithic integrated circuit industry since the 1950s. In this period of time, full-wave analyses of major bound modes and higher-order modes were explored by many ingenious field-theoretic approaches with better understandings of how various modes worked in almost all guiding structures known to date. The third era quietly began in 1986 and flourished in the 1990s when researchers around the world realized bound modes could leak in the forms of surface waves and /or space waves. The level of complexity in understanding how modes in nearly all guiding structures could leak and how new modes, which were unknown previously, could be verified was far more complicated than people in the second era could imagine. While the third era reached maturity, the fourth era emerged recently. This is the so-called synthetic waveguides, which are more applications-oriented and involve understanding of prior knowledge of modes to truly appreciate the new waveguide designs which often look like textiles with rows and columns of structures that are essentially periodic.
The aim of this course is to offer graduate students the inspirational materials, which may trigger their imaginary and creative minds looking into the interesting and tangled world of waveguides modes, thereby making or inventing better microwave circuits by breaking the impossible which textbooks used to emphasize. Modern software tools are essential to work out problem sets assigned by the lecturer, although emphases will be placed on the physics of modes and how modes are excited in waveguides. The assignments will be given with progressive levels of difficulties, thus grasping nearly fifty-year experience of waveguide development and managing the state-of-the-art waveguide design examples in a one-semester course.

參考書目
 1)collected papers of IEEE journals
2)Ramo, Whinnery, and Van Duzer, “Fields and waves in communication electronics,” Ch.7-through-14, 3rd edition, John Wiley & Sons, 1994
3)T. Itoh, editor, “Numerical techniques for microwave and millimeter-wave passive structures,” John Wiley & Sons, 1989
Prerequisite:
This course in guided waves and microwave circuit designs is a new attempt in the teaching of applied electromagnetics, suitable for students who at least had taken a two-semester undergraduate electromagnetic course or equivalent and possessed certain level of understanding of microwave circuit and theory usually taught in microwave engineering text books. Those who had completed the advanced electromagnetic course in the graduate school will feel more comfortable with the class materials and assignments, although this is not essential. Skills in scientific programming such as Fortran, C, Excel, and Matlab will be helpful to work on the problem sets in conjunction with the commercial electromagnetic field solver like HFSS from AnSoft.
Grading policy:
60% of scores will be credited to weekly or bi-weekly homework assignments. Midterm and final examinations will each share 20% of final grades. The written examination is in-class and open-note. The grading is to encourage creative minds.
