Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge in circuit theory, electronics, and mathematic.
Intended learning outcomes
The course gives the student basic knowledge in radio electronics. The system perspective is addressed both in the context of traditional radio and today's wireless communication systems. The objectives of the course is that the student will learn operation principles of radio systems and their fundamental limitations. After the course the students should be able to:
• explain the principles of radio transmission and reception
• explain the existing physical and technical limitations of a radio system
• analyze the functionality of radio transmitters and receivers
• calculate basic radio specifications in terms of power, gain, noise and frequency for basic modulation schemes
• explain differences between traditional radio and today’s digital radio systems
Course content
Overview of a traditional radio and today's communication systems. Basic modeling of an RF communication channel. Modulation, detection, and multiple access schemes. Overview of transceiver architectures and operation principles of RF blocks. Limitations due to power, frequency, noise and nonlinear distortions.
Teaching and working methods
Lectures, tutorials, laboratory work.
