Learning Outcomes: After successfully completing this unit, you will be able to:
* Apply knowledge of radio frequency (RF) and wireless, RF integrated circuits and measurement principles to analyse and solve complex RF and wireless systems engineering problems (C1,C2)[EX]
* Apply and critically evaluate technical literature, computational and analytical techniques to design and simulate complex real-world RF and microwave circuits and systems. (C3, C4, C5) [CW]
* Integrate multiple aspects of RF and wireless systems techniques to solve complex real-world problems in a practical setting using a systems approach (C6, C12) [CW]


Synopsis: Explore the analysis and design techniques used to create Radio Frequency (RF) and high-speed electronic devices and circuits for when classical techniques fail as frequency increases and the wavelength becomes comparable to component and circuit size. You'll investigate the major aspects of modern RF and wireless systems design, spanning integrated circuit design considerations, microstrip circuit layout, antennas, and aspects of radio propagation.

Content: Introduction to the device, circuit and system concepts required at higher frequencies (>100MHz i.e. in the RF, microwave and millimetre wave range). Passive components: an outline of commonly used circuit description, analysis and design techniques. Circuit realisation using microstrip, stripline and coplanar circuit board technologies. Active components: the design and use of high frequency integrated circuits. Microwave measurements: vector network analysers, reference plane calibration. Design and use considerations for antennas in various sensing and communication applications. Considerations for radio propagation.
