Introduction to RF Front-End Design   

Graduate course:       5p.
Time:                         week 44 - 50, 2005,
Place:                        Algoritmen/Systemet, ISY

Goal: The course aims at providing knowledge in RF front-end design in a context of today wireless communication systems. Both system- and circuit level perspective will be addressed, supported by modeling and simulation using professional tools. The course has been thought as an overview of the field and also an introduction to individual research work in the domain of RF ICs.

Organization:       8 lectures, 3 Lab assignments, Small project work, Written reports.

Lectures:              Jerzy Dabrowski, jdab@isy.liu.se, responsible for the course.
Lab guidance:      Henrik Fredriksson and Rashad Ramzan (ISY/EK)
