Introduction
The experiments are designed to give a thorough introduction to wave theory using the Microwave Optics System. Basic principles
are only briefly discussed in each experiment because it is assumed that the students have the appropriate theoretical
background. These experiments range from quantitative investigation of reflection and refraction to microwave models of the
Michelson and Fabry-Perot interferometers. Experiments for investigating Bragg diffraction and Brewster’s angle are
included, but require the Microwave Accessory Package.
The experiments are written in a worksheet format. Fee free to copy the experiment write-ups for use in your lab.
