Course Description
ECTS: 7.5
Optional for: E4, F4, N4, MWIR1, MSOC1
Course Manager: Göran Jönsson
Prerequisites: ETIF05 Basic Wireless Communication Technique
Course Composition: Lectures 20 h, exercises 20 h and laboratory work 16 h. Home work: 140 h.
Examination: Two passed hand-in assignments, four completed laboratory exercises and a final written test during 5h.
Aim: The course is intended to give a basic and wide knowledge in analysis and design of radio frequency amplifieres, primarily based on lumped components, but also engineering skills in measurement techniques that are necessary for verification of the result. The rf amplifier is an essential part in wireless applications such as cellular phones, multimedia terminals, computer networks, short distance communication between peripherals etc. As this technology rapidly advances there is a great demand for this kind of knowledge.
Contents: The main focus is analysis and synthesis of high-frequency amplifiers. Systematic methods for the design of amplifiers with regard to optimum gain, stability and noise. Circuits are presented and exemplified with transmission lines and transistors in the frequency range megahertz to gigahertz. Advanced radio frequency measurements using spectrum and network analysers.
Literature: L. Sundström, G. Jönsson and H. Börjeson: "Radio Electronics" and additional material.
