Radio communication (Fall 2003)

Course code : ERAKE-U01
ECTS Credits : 7,5 Status : Optional for specified Programme
Revised : 05/04 2002 Written : 01/01 1995
Placement : 6-7 semester Hours per week : 4
Length : 1 semester Teaching Language : English

Objective : The student should be able to:
-design microwave amplifiers using S-parameters.
-understand basic phase locked loops.
-understand RF-oscillators.
-take non-linearity and noise into account when designing
communication systems.
-understand the propagation of electromagnetic fields
Principal Content : S-parameters.
Phase Locked Loops.
Oscillators.
Non Linearity.
Propagation of Radiowaves.
Modulation and Systems.
Teaching method : 40% lectures/dialog and 60% practical design or communications
planning.

During the study module the students will design and test an amplifier as one of the assignments. The other assignment running throughout the semester will be in the subject of communications planning (signal to noise ratio - modulation -
antennas - and a lot of other subjects).
Required prequisites : Knowledge of transmission lines, reflection coefficients, Smith Chart,basic antennas and propagation, electric and magnetic fields and
noise. (Like TLAE and ENAME).
Knowledge of modulation forms, analog and digital.
Recommended prerequisites : -
Relations : -
Type of examination : Course work
External examiner : Internal
Marking : Scale of 13
Remarks : Evaluation:
The evaluation is based upon
- the practical design case,
- the communications assignment and
- a presentation of the communications assignment.
A mark in the 13-scale is given in each evaluation.

Grading:
The study module mark is the average of the 3 marks.

Students following the Danish line are allowed to hand in reports in Danish.
