Aim:
The aim of this course is to give the student fundamental knowledge on Radio Frequency (RF) integrated circuits design. Both system- and circuit perspective is presented in a context of today wireless personal and data communication (such as GSM, CDMA, DECT or Bluetooth). The particular objective of the course is that the student should learn methods and techniques for RF front-end design oriented to CMOS technology. Detailed specifications and limitations for RF blocks are discussed throughout the course.
After the course the students should be able to:
- analyze various architectures of todayâ?Ts digital radio transmitters and receivers
- analyze and design basic RF building-blocks in CMOS technology
- verify and optimize RF blocks (circuits) using a professional software
- perform basic RF measurements using professional equipment (such as S-parameters, sensitivity, noise figure, IP3)
