Program overview
Electromagnetic Field and Microwave Technology, simply put, is about how electromagnetic waves are generated, propagated, controlled, and used to transmit information or detect objects. You'll study core courses like electromagnetic field theory, microwave technology, antenna design, RF circuits, and electromagnetic compatibility. If you're comfortable with physics and math and enjoy hands-on experiments, building circuits, and tuning antennas, this major will suit you well. Chinese universities have strong programs in this field—for example, Southeast University, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, and Tsinghua University all have advanced microwave labs, with many faculty directly involved in national research projects like 5G base station antennas, satellite communication payloads, and radar systems. International students here can access cutting-edge equipment and topics such as millimeter-wave and terahertz technology.
