|
RF & Wireless Circuits and Systems |
||||
Fall Term 2005 |
||||
The course: |
Research project oriented seminar with topics from the modern RF, microwave and wireless literature approached from both circuit and systems perspectives. Project topics will include discrete and integrated RF circuits design, testing and evaluation as well as architectural, communicational and mathematical issues. Students are expected to study and present assigned material in the class meetings, do their research oriented projects under the close supervision of the instructor with the goal of deriving original results and prepare a final report written in IEEE paper format. Permission of instructor is required. |
