Microwave and Antennas Laboratory

Fall Semester 2026–2027 · Important Information on Course Procedures

📅 Experiment Schedule

Experiments are held every Wednesday between October 14 – December 2, 2026. Each week, G1–G4 take one experiment and G5–G8 take the other, entering 30 minutes apart; the following week the experiments are swapped. In this way every group attends every week and completes all 6 experiments in 6 weeks:
13:00–13:30 (G1, G5) · 13:30–14:00 (G2, G6) · 14:00–14:30 (G3, G7) · 14:30–15:00 (G4, G8)
No experiments are held on October 28 (the eve of Republic Day, afternoon off) and November 18 (Midterm Exam Week, November 16–22). Please check your group and experiment in the tables below.

⚠️ Attendance Requirement

The laboratory attendance requirement is 80%. Those who miss 20% of the experiments fail due to absence and are not admitted to the Final exam.

📖 Preparation for the Experiment

Before coming to the experiment, the theoretical preparation for it must be done thoroughly and the experiment sheet must be read carefully. Having a printout of the “Experiment Sheet” with you during the experiment will be a great help to you.

⛔ Preparation Requirement

Coming to the experiment unprepared or with incomplete preparation is sufficient reason not to be admitted to the lab session.

📡 Active Participation and Responsibility

Every student participates actively in the experiments and contributes to the measurements. It is the student’s responsibility to carry out the laboratory experiments at the correct frequency and in the correct way.

📄 Group Experiment Report

After each experiment is completed, reports are prepared as a group and submitted online via Google Classroom by the start of class the following week. Some experiments will take longer than 1 week.
