About the course
Aim
The course gives students practical knowledge of the system design of radio frequency circuits for wireless communication. Students learn systematic design methods for receivers and transmitters used in wireless communication systems, such as 3G, 4G, WLAN and Bluetooth. Several aspects at the system level are presented, which requires basic knowledge of radioelectronics circuits. The aim of the course is that the student should learn the design principles of radio frequency systems for current radio standards and existing physical constraints. After the end of the course, the student is expected to:
- analyze radio system and its physical layer (PHY) given specifications from different radio standards,
- transform the system specification to performance requirements for radio circuits for different architectures,
- verify an RF front-end for the required performance using professional software tools.
