Organizer
Kenjiro Nishikawa, Kagoshima Univ., JAPAN
Abstract
A half-day overview of (monolithic) microwave circuit designs is presented providing with enough number of examples. Learning the basics and summarize them in each engineer's mind is extremely valuable for his/her future work. The contents are picked up from indeed what I gained through my career. The circuits to be presented are transmission lines, amplifiers, oscillators, mixers, and control circuits, basing on S parameter, Fourier series, and orthogonal mode analysis. When showing examples, my recent and current developmental results are included. Finally, this short course is concluded with encouragement for young engineers.

Abstract
The short course provides basic theory and fundamental design techniques of microwave high power amplifiers. The content is linked to the APMC Student Design Competition (SDC) held during APMC 2014 for the first time in the history of APMC. The SDC is a chance to try practical implementation of high power amplifiers designed from predetermined specifications, while the short course supports the theoretical and technical aspects of microwave high power amplifier designs. The attendees can enjoy microwave technologies, through both the learning at the short course and the challenging at the SDC.

Abstract
The short course provides basic synthesis theory and fundamental design techniques of microwave filters. The content is linked to the APMC Student Design Competition (SDC) held during APMC 2014 for the first time in the history of APMC. The SDC is a chance to try practical implementation of bandpass filters designed from predetermined specifications, while the short course supports the theoretical and technical aspects of microwave filter designs. The attendees can enjoy microwave technologies, through both the learning at the short course and the challenging at the SDC.
