| Aim: The aim of this course is to give the student fundamental knowledge on Radio Frequency (RF) transceiver 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:
|
||||
| Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered) Preferably TSEK21 Introduction to Radioelectronics, or at least knowledge of semiconductor devices and analog circuits. To follow the course the students are required to have a good background in analog circuits and frequency analysis (Fourier). 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. |
