List of experiments:

Waveguide
Verify the relationship between wavelength of an EM wave in air and inside a rectangular waveguide.
Measurement of unknown load impedence and VSWR
Based on transmission lines
Wireless Power Transfer
Measure the variation in voltage w.r.t. distance between coils, angular orientation of coils, receiver capacitance, metal sheet location and input frequency (ac circuit).
Check the DC-AC conversion circuit properly.
Make sure to maintain input voltage of 4-5 V DC.
Do not touch the MOSFETs during the experiment.
Antenna (2 turns)
Make a printed antenna using FeCl3 and tape on a substrate and then test it using a Network Analyzer.

Computational Electromagnetics (5 turns) : Photonic Crystals and Wave scattering
Simulation software : MPB and MEEP [works best with Ubuntu]

Grading Policy:

Attendance : 10 marks
Experimental Reports : 10 marks [template]
Experimental Test : 20 marks
Computational Report : 30 marks
Common Quiz : 30 marks (15 comp + 15 expt)
Bonus : 5 marks for making some unspecified interesting measurements or simulations

Attendance Policy:
One round of attendance will be taken at 2:10PM and when the students complete the experiment, they go and mark again, thus getting full attendance. Attendance is thus handed out in half units.

Plagiarism Policy:

Any student who is found to have copied or allowed others to copy his/her experimental report will get "-10" in this component. This means that his/her maximum obtainable marks will be 80.
Similarly, "-30" for the computational report.
This penalty will be for all the group members since each report is the collective responsibility of all members and not just the one who prepared the report.
Any student who is found to indulge in copying during the common quiz will get "-30" marks in this component.
