The presentation begins with an overview of frequency bands, RF and microwave devices, and their applications in various areas. Communication systems are presented in Chapter 2, including terrestrial and satellite systems, wireless services, antenna terminology, the Friis transmission formula, the radar equation, and Doppler radar. Thus, students learn about the systems using blocks of amplifiers, oscillators, mixers, filters, and so on. Students’ response has strongly supported this top-down approach.
