In this work, we present a complete set of undergraduate microwave and RF laboratory experiences, that have been designed to improve the students competences on the high-frequency design, analysis and characterization. The developed courses include one-port and two-port circuits' measurement and characterization with the current most used instruments: vector network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, noise figure analyzers and power-meters. The computer-aided design has not been overlooked: a
