EEE6239   Radio Transceiver System and Circuit Design   (15 credits)

Description

Candidates taking this module will learn and then apply contemporary design practices in Radio Frequency (RF) systems and circuits, as used in transceivers operating in UHF and microwave bands. The module presents RF Engineering design of subsystems such as: mixers, low noise amplifiers, power amplifiers, filters and oscillators. These systems are then considered in the context of Software Defined Radio (SDR) and 'hybrid' SDR. The module consists of taught lectures and associated supporting RF design laboratory and CAD exercises. The laboratory exercises investigate fundamental RF circuity as well as a prototype SDR system. This course is particularly relevant for candidates interested in both the theory and practice of design, as applied in industrial RF product development.
