Aim:
The course aims at giving students the knowledge and readiness to design electronic systems, particularly wireless communication systems. After the course, the student will be able to do the following.
- Analyze different wireless communication systems
- Exemplify different receiver and transmitter architectures
- Calculate basic radio specifications in terms of, gain, noise, signal-to-noise ratio, power
- Describe analog and digital modulation techniques and modulation schemes
- Understand and describe mathematically the relationship between baseband signals and bandpass signals
- Understand and exemplify different synchronization methods circuits and describe their block schema and design criteria
- Design RF circuits and systems using an advanced design tool.
- Measure RF circuits and systems with a spectrum analyzer.

Supplementary courses:
Microwave Engineering, Antenna Theory and Techniques
|
|
Organisation:
Lectures, lab and project work.
The course runs over the entire spring semester.
|
|
Course contents:
Period 1 (lectures + lab): Introduction to communication electronics, general signal transmission theory, communication network, overview receiver/transmitter architectures, noise i RF-systems, modulation techniques, analog and digital modulation, baseband and bandpass signals, introduction to antenna theory, RF-circuits, design of RF-circuits and systems.
Period 2 (project work): Communication circuit or system design. System or circuit design in communication electronics. Under the project work, there is the possibility to manufacture the designed RF-circuits as RF-modules and then, to evaluate their performance.
