Basic High Speed Electronics (Spring 2007) |
|||
| Course code : | EBHSE-U01 | ||
| ECTS Credits : | 7,5 | Status : | Optional for specified Programme |
| Revised : | 22/01 2007 | Written : | 20/08 2003 |
| Placement : | 5 - 7. semester | Hours per week : | 4 |
| Length : | 1 semester | Teaching Language : | English |
| Objective : | The student should be able to: - Understand component behaviour at high frequencies (including microstrip design). - Understand transmission and reflections, Smith-chart and impedance matching. – Design, construct and test basic high frequency amplifiers using S-parameters. - Use measuring instruments for High Frequencies. |
||
| Principal Content : | Behaviour of components at high frequencies. Transmission Lines. Reflection of signals depending upon load impedance. Impedance matching. Time domain reflection- and frequency domain measurements. S-parameters and S-parameter measurements (Two-port measurements). Delay. |
||
| Teaching method : | 50% lectures/dialog and 50% practical work with high speed electronics. During the practical part of the course, the students make 3 course assignments within component measurements, time reflection, frequency domain and high frequency amplifier design. The student will learn about the practical aspects of high-speed electronic design (high frequency design in communication) during the assignments and how to use measurement equipment for High Frequencies. In some weeks, especially in the end of course, all the time may be set aside for a large assignment in high frequency amplifier design. You may suggest an assignment for the last one – but it must fulfill the objectives to be approved. The group can discuss the assignments with the teacher inside the scheduled time. Outside the scheduled time students must use e-mail. Response time objective: E-mails will be answered before the end of the following workday. |
||
| Required prequisites : | Knowledge of electric and magnetic fields, basic electronics including low-frequency amplifier design (equivalent to ELF3 and KRA3). | ||
| Recommended prerequisites : | - | ||
| Relations : | ENAME (recommended to take in parallel), WCHE (BHSE is a prerequisite for WCHE) | ||
| Type of examination : | Oral examination based on assignments | ||
| External examiner : | Internal | ||
| Marking : | Scale of 13 | ||
| Remarks : | In the beginning of the semester the students form their own groups. The group size should be 3-5 students. Under special circumstances, the teacher may allow smaller group sizes. Students that have not formed a group before a deadline set by the teacher are considered to be inactive and will not get a CampusNet group folder and will loose rights to any service from the teacher! All assignments must be made and it"s up to the group to ensure this. The group must continuously upload records of work and results of the assignments to a group folder in CampusNet. (No formal reports!) The teacher has access to the CampusNet group folder. The external examiner does not have access to CampusNet, but the teacher may report if any of the assignment records are missing. It"s the group"s responsibility to keep a backup of the data in case of loss of CampusNet data. Students that follow the Danish line may choose to do assignments, presentation and exam in Danish. On the same day as the examination, before the examination, the group must together present the assignments. Students are allocated 15 minutes for their presentation. The group is required to coordinate the presentations in such a way that the major aspects of the assignments are covered, that the presentations are different and that each individual presentation has a good technical span. At the presentation the external examiner and the teacher will be the audience. The teacher takes notes for the examination. Examination: Each student is allocated 10 minutes. The examination is individual. The teacher and the external examiner pose questions inspired by the presentation. The evaluation is based on a general impression of the level achieved by the student relative to the objective of the course. After the examination students, who wish so, may request (by email) a consultation after the exam, where the exam can be discussed with the teacher. At this consultation students who 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. |
