Communications Electronics

3 credits · Undergraduate

This course provides an introduction to the theory and design of electronic circuits for communications systems. Topics include: the realization of passive components for high frequency applications; small signal amplifier design and characterization employing s-parameter techniques; large signal circuit design realization and analysis employing volterra series and harmonic balance nonlinear analysis procedure; the realization and characterization of non-linear circuits as high efficiency power amplifiers, oscillators, frequency converters, and modulator/demodulator subsystems; the integration of appropriate subsystems into analog and digital terrestrial and space borne radio communication systems.
