I learned but I think that the quizz system can be improved. It should be clearly stated the number of decimal figures to use in the calculations. Also, I'd appreciate additional explanations from the "intuitive" point of view.

Kindly include all the concepts and formulas in web lectures which are used in quiz's.

The course is a bit tough to complete, but on completing one will get an idea about microwave circuits, antennas and its parameters.

Pierre here, I just want to leave a feedback on the course that I recently finished. I took this course in order to fill gaps in my knowledge in microwave engineering.

So first of all, I have several remarks on the antennas part: 1) this part was very useful for me. I appreciate the math explanations of antennas function, without the latter this devices look like magic:) 2) as for numerical methods, some mentioning of other methods might be useful, for a more broad view, I think.

Next about a part on amplifiers: 1) noise and gain matching was personally more complex for me than other parts. I would prefer to have more details on the noise and gain circles, I have found a deviation of these formulas in Pozar, however  there were less information in the course. Also, it was not clear for me why this formulas give circles in Smith chart. There is an answer in literature, for example in the theory of complex variable. Namely, we are plotting impedance on the smith chart , it is calculated from the reflection coefficient using linear fractional transformation, and as far as I understand the Smith chart itself is a linear fractional transformation of the coordinate axes. These transforms keep the circular shapes, so the circle |Gamma| =const will give a circle on the Smith chart. To sum up, this kind of explanation will help me to understand better. 2) In general, I think that this part was fast, and maybe some slowing down and more details would be appreciated. But maybe it is just me 3) as for stability, I think it would be good to give an example of an unstable amplifier, what happens to a signal, for example. 4) I find the circles on the Smith chart an interesting topic. However, I think it is important to add an information about software that can draw circles on the chart (I personally could not find a proper way at QUCS). Also, some explanation how to draw circles on paper would be useful, something like that : https://youtu.be/aPy_X67YbLk . I was not clear for me how to draw circle, where is |Gamma| = 1

Anyway, thanks a lot for the course, it is very interesting and useful. And I will use and have used the knowledge and skills in my career, for sure.

With my best regards, Pierre

it is a very informative course but i am just in the first week of learning and i am not satisfeied by the teaching method.. the lectures were all formulas and explanation no numerical were solved as an example and the very first quiz is full of numericals which i am having a hard time solving ..

Thank you for giving this opportunity .I learned both theoretical and practical knowledge including QUCS &CST software's for designing. Thank you sir.

The problem with this course is the Quizzes, 75% of the questions have no relation to the presented material in the videos, I mean the student needs to find another reference to solve them, he/she can not depend only on the videos or the reading section. Also, this course needs to provide solved problems similar to the Quizzes.

The course is an ok intro into the topic. The text is not very suitable to fill in gaps from the videos though the assignments are reasonably targeted to the content of the text. Pozar's Microwave Engineering should be used for Part 1 and Part 3. Balanis's Antenna Theory for part 2. I do like how Dr. Smolder describes the "antenna recipe" and the breaking down of inner and outer product for solving the antenna problems. However, this is not enough to save this course. The lectures should be more robust or tutorial's present.

Thank you very much for this generosity in the effort expended in the preparation of this course and which must be very intense It is a fairly complete course, we cover a large part of the microwave and RF field, with a choice of topics very relevant. the tools that accompany the course are very useful and beneficial. And the practical projects offered are very rich and invite the student to better deepen their knowledge by orienting them towards the mastery of the practical aspect.

An excellent course, especially considering it's almost for free. I learned a lot.

Besides a daytime job, the course will probably take more time than 10 weeks. I tried to do

one quiz each week and each of the 3 design assignments took me at least a month.

Of course, it is important to do the design assignments in order to learn practical

design and using the software (QUCS or CST-MWS). I am thankful to the TU/e and

Coursera for offering this engineering course!

Good content in the course with excellent notes to follow. Assesments are annoying as there are too many questions and when a question is answered wrong there is no explanation. Would be better if some of the assesments were just exercises, with explanations when answers are wrong.

I enjoyed this course. It's really a good course to know the basics of RF, microwave and antenna basics as well as to get hands on experience on the design of LNA, power dividers, and antennas. The quizzes and the projects are very challenging.

This course was a good online introduction into antennas for me. I will be building further on it.

Thank you Prof. Bart Smolders, Prof. Domine Leenaerts and Ulf Johannsen

Very challenging and interesting course. The quizzes are sometimes long and complicated but they help to understand a lot. Many thanks!

The course helps me reinforce knowledge about antenna design, and I have applied it in my work

It was very challenging and lifetime learning experience

very good and hard course thanks

Excellent course taught all the key concepts such as Smith charts and how to use for impedance matching using all the techniques. The practical assignments were very interesting some of the topics could focus less on advanced mathematics.

The examples in the lectures are not well explained and some of the formulas used for the quiz answers are not covered in the lecture or not available in the text book.

Very good experience. The courses are very interesting and the quizzes as well as the hands-on designs are pertinent.

Considering the actual conditions in Tunisia, it's very difficult to buy any certificate for the moment. But, I could help you differently by either any kind of reviews or to help you prepare a part of one course about oscillators, Electromagnetic Compatobility or Rf measurements.

Looking forward tp hearing from you

Best Regards

The course is very interesting and it has increased my cultural baggage. It has helped me in the theory and design of the Antennas. Very interesting for me it was the design of the Patch Antenna, the use of CST and Qucs as Microwave Design Tools. I have very appreciated the teaching method and the clarity in explanations of the instructors. I hope that other interesting courses so as this will be organized.

There are some typos in the quizzes and the notes but in general a nice course that cover bunch of different subject in Microwave Engineering. I suggest everyone who what to learn mW engineering and refresh his/her knowledge.

simply the best, great course and even if it is not enough for microwave engeneears it allow you to have a complete starting point and to go deeply into the practical essece of the topics using the course book

A very good course that covers many areas. For me personally, it was difficult to apply the equivalence principle (vector algebra). I will be glad to see more courses about microwave and wireless systems.

I had very good Experience by solving the assignment question. This course is very much useful for my research related work towards antenna design. Thank you to the whole Coursera team.
