Microwave Planar Circuit Design Tool in the teaching of Microwave Engineering

The Microwave Planar Circuit Design (MPD) Tool is applied in the teaching of Microwave Engineering class of senior level industrial technology education major. The MPD is based on Wave Iterative Method (WIM) by using the incident and reflected wave concept which propagate alternating between the spectrum domain (modes) and the time domain (pixels). Both domains can calculate the amplitude of wave by using Fast Modal Transform (FMT) .This method can present the s-parameter, the electric and magnetic field on the microstrip filter circuits. The simulated results are well agreed with the measurement. After, the use of the MPD tool to the 20 samples at the industrial technology education major, Burapha University. The results revealed that the efficiency of instructional model was higher than a criterion of Meguigans.
