Course description
RF Design: Passive and Active Components
This course follows the Primer on RF Design course and class focuses on passive and active components. We use the techniques learned in the previous course to design advanced RF devices including couplers, filters and amplifiers. Current research topics are discussed as appropriate.
Upcoming start dates
Suitability - Who should attend?
Prerequisites:
Students interested in taking this course should plan to complete the edX course, Primer on RF Design , before enrolling in this course.
Students should aldo have completed undergraduate-level coursework in electromagnetics, including fundamental concepts of RF waves and transmission lines.
