GENERAL


  • Course Code:
    TSEK02  Radio Electronics /Radioelektronik   4p (6 ECTS)
  • Required Background:
    Recommended basic knowledge of semiconductor devices and analog circuits.
  • Supplementary courses:
    Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits TSEK 03 /advanced course in RF CMOS design.
  • Goal:
    The course should give students a basic knowledge in radio electronics. Both system- and circuit perspective will be presented, first, in a context of a traditional radio and next, today's wireless communication systems  (such as GSM, CDMA, DECT or Bluetooth). The particular objective of the course is that the student will learn operation principles of RF circuits (blocks) and also realize the existing fundamental limitations.
  • Course contents:
    Review of a traditional radio and today's personal communication systems. Basic modeling of RF communication channel. Modulation, detection and multiple access schemes. Review of transceiver architectures and operation principles of RF blocks. Analysis of basic RF circuits (LNA, mixer, oscillator, frequency synthesizer, power amplifier). Limitations due to power, frequency, noise and nonlinear distortions.
