Aim:  To introduce RF communication circuits, their design concepts in discrete or integrated realizations, and the trade-off between circuit technology and communication systems requirements. The student will be able to design RF communication circuits or subsystems based on component, circuit, and system data and specifications.
Contents:  RF signals in analog and digital modulations. RF circuits including linear amplifiers, mixers, oscillators, detectors, limiters, and power amplifiers. Transmitter and receiver structures. Phase locked loops. Design of RF integrated circuits. Circuit concepts like stability, noise, distortion, intermodulation, and dynamic range. System concepts including signal to noise ratio, thresholds, and bit error rates.
