ABSTRACT

This writing describes a 5.8 GHz microwave system that is suitable for use in undergraduate laboratories or as a demonstration tool. The system is constructed mainly from off-the-shelf components and can be configured by anyone possessing a basic knowledge of electronics. The types of demonstrations that the system can be used for is vast and cannot be addressed in a single writing. Therefore, the authors outline one exercise and results that explores wave interference based on propagation and phase delays. The phase delays are produced via spatial and feed line delays.
