Joint Workshop
Thailand-Japan Microwave (TJMW) &
Asian Wireless Power Transfer Workshop (AWPT) 2025

Student Design Competition (SDC)

TJMW will be hosting a Student Design Competition (SDC). The main objective of this event is to encourage students to have interests in microwave engineering and to experience challenges in practical hardware designs and measurements. Competitors will design, fabricate, and measure circuits on the day. A tutorial session will also be provided.

   • No advance preparation is required.
   • Each team consists 4-6 students (nationally mixed member) by SDC chairs. Members should cooperate in activities for achievement.
   • Basics of the design will be lectured by the SDC chairs.
   • The core circuit will be specified on the day. The core circuit can not be modified. Students will design a matching circuit only.
   • Target impedance to design a matching circuit is given on the day.
   • Any design tools may be used (hand calculation, PC program, AI tools, or circuit simulators).
   • Students handle soldering to fabricate the designed circuit.
   • The fabricated circuit is evaluated and scored. The highest score team wins.
