Communications Electronics

EE 5th Sem.

This course provides basic design and circuit techniques for communications electronics. As a starting point, bipolar and MOS transistors are reviewed. The discussion of circuit design begins with basic amplifier topologies, impedance matching concepts and a bit of two-port theory. Important non-ideal aspects such as non-linearity and noise are discussed. This sets the ground for more involved topics. Important building blocks of communications equipment, such as mixers and oscillators, are examined in detail. The discussions include the basic topologies, mathematical descriptions and a thorough analysis of non-ideal behaviour, from which finally guidelines for the design can be derived.

The exercises form an integral part of this course. The definitions and concepts presented in the lecture will be reinforced by small design examples, therefore providing a link between the theoretical description and real-world problems.
