Aikataulu: 16.03.2020 - 28.05.2020

Kurssin yhteystiedot (koskee tätä kurssikertaa):

Assoc. Prof. Ville Viikari https://people.aalto.fi/index.html#ville_viikari

Univ. Lect. Clemens Icheln https://people.aalto.fi/index.html#clemens_icheln

Opetusperiodi (voimassa 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):

IV-V 2018 - 2019 (spring)
IV-V 2019 - 2020 (spring)

Osaamistavoitteet (voimassa 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):

The student is able to design and analyze simple microwave circuits and circuit components using CAD tools and/or analytical methods, as well as to describe key characteristics of different components and complete microwave systems.

Sisältö (voimassa 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):

Design of passive and active circuit components (such as filters, couplers, microstrip-line transitions, amplifiers, mixers, and oscillators). The design assignments can facilitate the design of a small radio system.

Tarkennukset kurssin sisältöön (koskee tätä kurssikertaa):

Recap of the fundamentals of impedance matching-circuit design
Design of passive microwave components (resonators,
dividers, couplers, filters, Pozar Chapters 5-8)
Design of active microwave components (amplifiers, oscillators, mixers, rectifiers, Pozar Ch. 10-12 in 3^rd ed., or Ch. 10-13 in 4^th ed.)
Design of a small radio system using computer-aided design tools (NI AWR software), as group work.

Toteutus, työmuodot ja arvosteluperusteet (voimassa 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):

In-class quizzes, homework exercises, reporting group project results in a seminar, and final in-class quiz.

Tarkennetut arviointiperusteet ja -menetelmät ja tutustuminen arviointiin (koskee tätä kurssikertaa):

The
course is graded 0-5. The final grade is based on the following
assessment methods (including their weights in the final grade in %).

In-class
quizzes (15 %): Students have to answer online quizzes during each
lecture, and presence in class is required to have these graded (no remote participation).

Homework
exercises (55 %): Assignments are solved either analytically
(calculations) or using computer-aided design tools (e.g. AWR),
depending on the topic. The computer exercises can be solved
individually or collaboratively in groups depending on students' own
choice. However, students return all their solutions to homework
assignments individually during a contact session where they are
presented to a teacher in order to be graded. The group-project
presentation (and physical presence) in the final seminar contributes to
this grade.

Final
quiz (30 %): The goal of the final quiz is to assess students' overall
comprehension of the course, whereas homework assignments concentrate on
a more detailed level. Presence is required to have the final quiz graded (no remote participation).

Työmäärä toteutustavoittain (voimassa 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):

Contact hours 48 h (2 x 3 h per week, 9.5 weeks). Independent work 87 h.

Tarkennettu kuormittavuuslaskelma (koskee tätä kurssikertaa):

5 ECTS ⇔ 5 x 27 hours = 135 hours of working
10 x (2+3) hours = 50 hours of contact teaching ⇔ 5 hours per week
85 hours of independent working ⇔ average 8.5 hours per week
The
number of hours for independent work is only indicative. It varies subject
to the pre-knowledge, skills and working "efficiency" of the student.

Oppimateriaali (voimassa 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):

D.M. Pozar: Microwave Engineering (3rd or 4th edition).

Tarkennukset oppimateriaaliin (koskee tätä kurssikertaa):

The course book is David M. Pozar Microwave Engineering (either 3^rd or 4^th ed.).

this book is available online and in the TUAS library
there, you can also find the supplementary textbook in Finnish for
this course: Lehto/Räisänen "RF- ja Mikoraaltotekniikka", Otatieto, TKY 547, 2006
