Course Overview
Microwave engineering is a field in which candidates study the frequency range from 1 gigahertz to 30 gigahertz. IIT Bombay has designed the Microwave Integrated Circuits certification course to teach candidates about this engineering domain in which circuits have unique properties which are not present in lower frequencies. This course is available online on Swayam.
The course instructor, Professor Jayanta Mukherjee from IIT Bombay, covers the Microwave Integrated Circuits certification syllabus in eight weeks. The curriculum consists of eight modules, tutorial lectures, and weekly graded assignments. There is also a certification exam at the end, which is optional. After passing this exam with the minimum qualifying marks, candidates can become certified.
The interesting aspect of this online program is that it covers certain new topics and laws related to microwave engineering. Candidates can take admission in the Microwave Integrated Circuits training for free and learn from an experienced instructor. AICTE has also approved this as an FDP program.

Eligibility Criteria
The eligibility for enrolment in the Microwave Integrated Circuits course by Swayam includes having knowledge of the basics of network theory.
Certificate Qualifying Details
Candidates can receive the Microwave Integrated Circuits certification by obtaining at least 10/25 in the internal assessments and at least 30/75 in the final exam. Thus, they should have a final score of >= 40/100. Also, the average marks of internal assessments are calculated by taking the best six assignments out of eight.
What you will learn
Candidates will be well-versed in the following topics after completing the Microwave Integrated Circuits program:
- New circuit elements and new circuit design techniques
- Components of microwave
- Transmission of tapers
- Linearity
- Noise
- Graph of signal flow
Who it is for
Students of courses like B Sc, M Sc, BE, ME, MS, Ph.D. can take part in the Microwave Integrated Circuits online certification.
