Gain core industry skills in the foundations of the modern technologies used in communication, defence and navigation systems - radio frequency (RF) and wireless circuit design. You will gain a comprehensive knowledge of concepts and techniques used in low noise amplifiers, power amplifiers and oscillators to analysing and designing complete wireless systems to a required specification. From RF and microwave transmission line theory to transceiver design principles and architecture, you will gain a thorough understanding of the operation of RF and wireless circuits and systems. Through engaging lectures, online courseware, and hands-on laboratory work, you will build your expertise. Practical measurement skills will be assessed through written reports on the laboratory projects.
The course will be strongly design oriented with a strong development of practical design skills.
