|||
| Course code : | EWCHE-U01 | ||
| ECTS Credits : | 7,5 | Status : | Optional for specified Programme |
| Revised : | 15/07 2011 | Written : | 19/01 2004 |
| Placement : | 5-7 semester | Hours per week : | 4 |
| Length : | 1 semester | Teaching Language : | English |
| Objective : | Purpose: The study module is designed to give the student competences in RF and Microwave Communications Systems and Communication Circuits in a broad sense. Learning outcomes: The student must be able to: 1. Use concepts, theory, components and methods introduced in the course. 2. Develop and use mathematical models of communication systems as introduced in the course. 3. Design, calculate, analyze, model, simulate, construct and test analogue hardware. 4. Plan, specify, cooperate, document and use relevant engineering terms and language. 5. Relate specifications, calculations, simulations and measurements and draw clear and relevant conclusions. 6. Hypothesize the reasons for differences between simulated and actual results and discuss the hypothesis from relevant theory or from relevant simulations and test. |
||
| Principal Content : | S-parameters and Matching (Repetition on your own). Stability (Repetition on your own). Low Noise and Power Amplifiers. Non-Linearity. Noise in Communication Systems. Basic Antennas. |
||
| Teaching method : | 25% lectures/dialog and 75% practical design or communications planning. During the practical part of the course, the students will design and build parts of a high frequency communications system or design a radio communications system. The students must in this design consider subjects of communications planning, and use this to evaluate system performance. | ||
| Required prequisites : | Students must have participated in BHSE and ENAM before this study group. | ||
| Recommended prerequisites : | - | ||
| Relations : | - | ||
| Type of examination : | Look under remarks | ||
| External examiner : | Internal | ||
| Marking : | 7 step scale | ||
| Remarks : | Oral examination based on group-made products ( Reports and presentation including demonstration of constructed analogue hardware) 7 step scale Grades are given as follows: 02 For a minimum of basic knowledge and routine corresponding to the learning outcomes points 1 and 2. 7 For knowledge, routine and behaviour corresponding to the learning outcomes points 1 to 4. 12 For knowledge, routine, behaviour and reflective skills corresponding to all the learning outcomes points 1 to 6. Evaluation: The evaluation is based upon - the curriculum - the communications assignment and - a presentation of the communications assignment and an individual examination On the same day as the examination, before the examination, the group must together present the exercises and projects, including a demonstration of constructed analogue hardware. Each student is allocated 10 minutes for their presentation. The group is required to coordinate the presentations in such a way that the major aspects of the exercises and projects are covered, that the presentations are different and that each individual presentation has a good technical span. At the presentation the external censor and the supervisor will be the audience. The supervisor takes notes for the examination. Examination: Each student is allocated 25 minutes (all in all). The examination is individual. The supervisor and the external examiner pose questions inspired by the reports and the presentation. The evaluation is based on a general impression of the level achieved by the student relative to the objective of the course. The evaluation is based on the reports, the presentation and the demonstration ( the functionality of constructed analogue hardware). After the examination students, who wish so, may request (by email) a consultation after the exam, where the exam and the project report can be discussed with the supervisor. At this consultation, students that have not passed the exam, will be guided on how to work purposeful towards passing a new exam. The consultation will normally take place in the beginning of the following semester. A mark in the 7 step scale is given. Students following the Danish line are allowed to hand in reports in Danish. |
