Prerequisites
RF Electronics, Analog/digital System Design (can be taken in parallel)Intended learning outcomes
The course aims at giving students the knowledge and readiness to design electronic systems, particularly wireless communication systems. After the course, the student will be able to do the following.
- Analyze different wireless communication systems
- Exemplify different receiver and transmitter architectures
- Calculate basic radio specifications in terms of, gain, noise, signal-to-noise ratio, power
- Describe analog and digital modulation techniques and modulation schemes
- Understand and describe mathematically the relationship between baseband signals and bandpass signals
- Understand and exemplify different synchronization methods circuits and describe their block schema and design criteria
- Design RF circuits and systems using an advanced design tool.
- Measure RF circuits and systems with a spectrum analyzer.
Course content
Period 1 (lectures + lab): Introduction to communication electronics, general signal transmission theory, communication network, overview receiver/transmitter architectures, noise i RF-systems, modulation techniques, analog and digital modulation, baseband and bandpass signals, introduction to antenna theory, RF-circuits, design of RF-circuits and systems.
Period 2 (project work): Communication circuit or system design. System or circuit design in communication electronics. Under the project work, there is the possibility to manufacture the designed RF-circuits as RF-modules and then, to evaluate their performance.
Teaching and working methods
Lectures, lab and project work.
The course runs over the entire spring semester.
