This course addresses the design of the RF portion of communication systems. I are developed using link analysis. RF performance parameters, such as antenna gain, noise figure, signal gain, VSWR, spurious rejection, and intermodulation distortion, are then developed for each block and analyzed to predict system-level performance. The methods used in this course are implemented on readily available spreadsheet and mathematical analysis software. Simulations and demonstrations of radio performance are given throughout the course to establish a basis on which the analysis techniques are developed.
Enrollment is limited.
