453. Microwave and Optical Devices.  Principles of group velocity and dispersion applied to hollow and dielectric waveguides, microstrip, and optical fibers.  Transmission line and circuit models developed from impedance and scattering approach and applied to practical realization of reactive elements, attenuators, phase shifters, directional couplers, resonators, and the magic tee.  Unifying principles that relate the low frequency, microwave, and optical regimes are emphasized.   Three lectures.  (Cr.3)
