Lecture times and places Target group recommended to

Implementation 1

Per 4, 5 :
Tuesday 10 - 12, TC161

Requirements

Students collect points from various tasks that contribute to learning (homework, attending lectures, weekly tests, project work, final exam, course feeback, etc.) There will be a minimum number of points for passing the course, e.g., 50 out of 100.

Principles and baselines related to teaching and learning

Weekly lectures are divided in several learning blocks (more information in the first lecture).

Learning outcomes

The objective of this course is to learn the essential concepts of RF and microwave electronics. The student shall learn the basic definitions and concepts relating to high frequency design. From that on the student can build a firm understanding of how active and passive RF circuits function.

Content
