The Application of Full Wave Electromagnetic Simulation Software in Teaching of Microwave Engineering

摘要: 在微波工程的教学中，往往会遇到课程理论性强、计算公式繁多所导致的理论和实际的微波器件设计无法联系起来的问题。针对这一问题，本文创新性地应用全波电磁仿真软件设计出适合该课程的实践教学环节：在课程中借助计算机辅助教学的方法，使用仿真软件进行微波器件的设计与仿真，实时获得各类参数，通过加工测试，验证仿真设计的正确性，最终辅助了课程教学。该教学改革方法提升了学生对微波器件的实际设计能力，改善了传统教学法所遇到的问题。结果表明，通过全波电磁仿真软件的应用，该课程的平均分相较往年有较大提升，取得了不错的教改效果。

Abstract: In the teaching of microwave engineering, the theory is hard to be understood by students because of the requirement of math. The theory and the practical design of microwave components are not easy to be connected. In this paper, the full wave electromagnetic simulation software is aided to design the practical teaching innovatively. The computer aided teaching is applied to microwave engineering. The simulation software is applied to achieve the real-time parameters to demonstrate the accuracy of the simulation through the fabrication and testing of the microwave components, which results in assisting the teaching process. With the proposed educational reform method, the ability of designing practical microwave component for students is improved and the issues in the traditional teaching method are overcome. The results show that enhancement is achieved for the average grades of the students with the application of the full wave electromagnetic simulation software.
