Abstract: Electromagnetic theory and microwave measurement experiments course has great effects on students’ studying the basic theories of electromagnetic field and wave, the elementary knowledge and the basic experimental skill, and training students’ ability to analyze and solve problems By course study, students not only verify the abstract theories of electromagnetic field and microwave measurement, but also improve the ability to solve practical problems of microwave detection and measurement Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT), starting with experiment content, explores the teaching of electromagnetic theory and microwave technology experiment course in order to highlight the communication characteristics In the aspect of content, BUPT enriched the traditional experiments, such as measurement of electromagnetic wave transmission and waveguide transmission line measurement, added comprehensive experiments, such as microwave transceiver system measurements, low noise amplifier design, reformed the experimental method of antenna pattern measurement, which met the current demanding for cultivating talents The practice shows students’ abilities have been improved greatly in some aspects, such as mastery of knowledge, comprehensive design and microwave circuit application

Key words: electromagnetic field and wave, microwave measurement, microwave transceiver system, antenna pattern measurement, education reform
