Objectives
The objective of this course is to ensure that the student has learned the basic theoretical concepts of RF elctronics right, and, is able to apply them in practise, in designing and testing electronics circuits operated at radio freqencies. Another objective is that the student learns to write a scientific paper.

Content

Content	Core content	Complementary knowledge	Specialist knowledge
1.	Use of an RF simulations tool.
2.	Design of a practical circuit (e.g. an RF amplifier, oscillator, or mixer).
3.	Layout design for an RF circuit plus practical etching of a printed circuit board.
4.	Making gain, impedance, and spectrum measurements using RF test intsruments.
5.	Preparing a report that meets scientific standards and quality.

Requirements for completing the course
Seminar presentation held and material delivered in schedule; project work (an RF circuit) designed, implemented, and tested and meeting specifications; report delivered in schedule.

Evaluation criteria for the course
