Microwave Device
Any device capable of generating, amplifying, modifying, detec
ting, or measuring microwaves, or voltages having microwave fr
equencies. Microwaves are within the frequency of 3 GHz to
about 300 GHz; because of their high frequency spectrum,
microwaves can carry large numbers of channels. They also
have short wavelengths from 10 cm to 0.1 cm

EXAMPLES:Gunn Diode,antennas,resonators etc

 Difference b/w microwave devices and normal
devices
• Difference b/w microwave oven and conventional oven
1. Microwaves ovens use electromagnetic energy and generate
electromagnetic waves that heats up the food kept in the
appliance. Unlike a conventional oven, they do not heat up the
whole space inside the appliance and just use the waves to heat
the food kept in it.

2. Conventional Ovens are appliances with enclosed space with

metallic elements at the top and bottom. Electric current flows
through the metallic elements to heat up the element and in turn
the enclosed space and cook food. The thermostat in the oven
measures the temperature and adjusts the current through the
element to maintain the temperature.

• Comparison between microwave BJT and normal BJT

1. In comparison with Si bipolar junction transistors (BJTs), Microwave BJT show better
performance in terms of emitter injection efficiency, base resistance, base-emitter
capacitance, and cut-off frequency. They also offer good linearity, low phase noise and
high power-added efficiency. Microwave BJT are used in both
commercial and high-reliability applications, such as power amplifiers in mobile
telephones and laser drivers.

 Advantages of Microwaves
•Supports larger bandwidth and hence more information is transmitted. For this reason,
microwaves are used for point-to-point communications.
•More antenna gain is possible.
•Higher data rates are transmitted as the bandwidth is more.
•Antenna size gets reduced, as the frequencies are higher.
•Low power consumption as the signals are of higher frequencies.

 Disadvantages of Microwaves
•Cost of equipment or installation cost is high.
•They are hefty and occupy more space.
•Electromagnetic interference may occur.
•Variations in dielectric properties with temperatures may occur.
•Inherent inefficiency of electric power.
