Prerequisites
Background in RF electronics, integrated circuits and communication theory.Intended learning outcomes
The course should give students a practical knowledge on RF transceiver system design for wireless communications. The course provides systematic design methods of receivers and transmitters used in communication systems, like GSM, WLAN or Bluetooth. System-level perspective will be presented, assumed RF circuits be well understood. The particular objective of the course is that the student will learn design principles of RF systems in terms of the contemporary radio standards and the existing physical limitations on the other hand. After the course the student should be able to:
- analyze an RF system in its physical layer given specifications defined by standard
- transform the system specification into the requirements for the RF front-end blocks for various architectures
- design an RF front-end for the required performance using professional software tools
Course content
Fundamentals of RF system design. Basic design considerations in different radio architectures. Receiver system analysis and design. Transmitter system analysis and design. RF front-end and baseband isues. Performance evaluation. Case studies. Design work with professional tools.
Teaching and working methods
Lectures, laboratory work, seminars, and project assignment.
