Microwave Engineering Laboratory

Experiment no 1: Study of Microwave Components and Instruments

Objective: To become familiar with microwave components and instruments
available in the laboratory.

Experiment no 2: Reflex Klystron Characteristics

Objective: To study mode characteristics of reflex klystron and hence to determine
mode number, transit time, electronic tuning ranges (ETR) and electronic tuning
sensitivity (ETS).

Experiment no 3: Frequency Measurement

Objective: To examine the frequency characteristics of klystrons and also to
become familiar with typical microwave frequency measurements.

Experiment no 4: Measuring VSWR

Objective: To become familiar with the basic technique for measuring voltage
standing wave ratio.
