A student who has participated fully in the summer school will learn about the latest developments in microwave, lightwaves, microwave photonics, THz photonics and electronics, and their application to applications such as communications, imaging and sensing. En studerende, der fuldt ud har opfyldt kursets mål, vil kunne:

• have knowledge of the fundamental principles of generation and detection of microwave, millimeter and THz signals
• have knowledge at the general level of trend and challenges in microwaves and lightwave technologies
• be able to point out different solution scenarios for use of microwave and lightwave technologies
• have thorough knowledge about tools for design of microwave devices, and lightwave guiding devices
• be able to point out the most interesting scientific problems within microwave and THz technologies for imaging, communications and sensing
• be able to discuss advantages and disadvantages between the use of electronics and photonics approaches for microwave and THz technologies
• be able to discuss using a common engineering language solutions for microwave and THz systems from electronics and photonics approaches
• be able to achieve a quick and concise insight of his/her own research related to above areas

The course is composed of a total of 3 weeks: 1 week PhD summer school and 2 weeks study load of textbook reading material with corresponding discussion with Professors. Students will be requested to read, at least, 5 weeks prior to the school, selected book-chapters and state-of-the-art journals on selected topics by the teachers. The reading material is selected in agreement with the PhD supervisors to make the best possible preparation of the students to participate in the Summer School and perform the projects during the summer school. Students will meet to discuss among themselves and with professors the reading material. An oral exam will take place after the Summer School has taken place. Lectures will be delivered from teachers at DTU Fotonik and DTU Elektro and selected number of top researchers and teachers from world-wide renown Universities; see program at website link below.

The program consists of about 20 lectures. Presenting the newest achievements in microwave and optical engineering is the main aim of the lectures. The lectures are always followed by discussions and interactions among students and professors. During the CELTA Summer School, students are grouped into teams of mixed nationalities. The teams work on projects oriented to the design and modeling of microwave and optic devices and systems. At the end of the summer school, each team has to represent results of the project in a poster and/or talk. In frame of the ITN CELTA summer School, participating PhD students can give a brief overview about their research. That way, links among young researchers are built. The program of the ITN CELTA Summer schools includes technical and cultural visits, which presents the organizing country to the CELTA School participants. 30. april, 2018
