Prel. scheduled hours: 52
Rec. self-study hours: 108

  Area of Education: Technology

Main field of studies: Electrical Engineering

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): A

Aim:
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


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Background in RF electronics, integrated circuits and communication theory.

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Organisation:
Lectures, laboratory work, seminars, and project assignment.

Course contents:
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.
