    Spring 2011

    In this day of wireless communication, more interest has been generated in circuitdesign techniques that are applicable to 800 - 2000 MHz band where most of the cellu-lar communication bands are located. The RF design course is designed to address thespecial techniques that are required for building circuits at these frequencies. Among thetopics that are expected to be covered are resonance, impedance transformation, smallsignal amplifiers, oscillators, mixers, phase locked loops, transmission line transformers,and power amplifiers. Students will be able to design an active circuit using the Agilentprogram called ADS (Advanced Design System) on the unix work stations. The purposeof the course is to provide tools to engineers that are or will be active in hardware designof circuits in the RF frequency range.
