Microwave undergraduate education at UCL Belgium: From planar passive components to wide band tuned devices

This paper presents microwave education facilities set up at U.C.L. for the five past years. Emphasis is led on the design, realisation and measurement of planar subsystems which components are progressively studied during the undergraduate education in electrical engineering at U.C.L. This is illustrated by the presentation of various realisations presently developed in the frame of an engineering thesis by fifth-year students in view of synthesizing a coplanar YIG oscillator.
