Närmare beskrivning av kursens innehåll (gäller denna kursomgång):
After the course the student is familiar with the basic IC structures used in RF IC design and is capable of using these in different building blocks. In addition, the student knows special features of linear and non-linear integrated high-frequency circuits in RF design and is familiar with RF IC system design basics. In this course we emphasize the learning principle “learning by doing”. This means that students are encouraged to do self-learning and with many exercises students familiarize themselves with practical RF IC design. Number of lectures is reduced to six to keep the work load reasonable and there will be no final exam. Mandatory participation on lectures is required to successfully complete the course. Each meeting consists of the following segments: 1) Lecture: introduction to the topic 2) CAD exercises(simulations) 3) Homeworks(calculations) 4) Self-learning assignments: references or essays, find answers to given questions.
Metoder, arbetssätt och bedömningsgrunder (är i kraft 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):
Obligatory special project (30%), homeworks (20%), CAD-exercises (20%), assignments (30%).
