Objectives
This course provides comprehensive knowledge on basic principles of high
frequency circuit designs and illustrate how such circuits are used in communication
systems. By the end of this course, students can be able to:
By the end of this course, students can be able to
1. Understand constitute components of a radio communications system and characteristics of
various radio frequency (RF) transceiver architectures for radio communications systems.
2. Understand the basic concepts used for the design of radio communications circuits.
3. Understand effects of noise and nonlinearity distortion on RF systems and system
parameters such as noise figure, input/output referred noise, 1-dB compression point, third-
order intercept point, sensitivity and dynamic ranges.
4. Understanding passive components at high frequencies
5. Design matching networks
6. Analyze and design electronic circuits for radio communication systems, including LNA,
Mixer, Power Amplifier, and Oscillators.
6. Work as a team to solve a given problem (team project).
