Objectives
This course provides comprehensive knowledge on basic principles of high
frequency circuit designs and illustrate how such circuits are used in communication
systems. By the end of this course, students can be able to:
By the end of this course, students can be able to
1. Understand constitute components of a radio communications system and characteristics of
various radio frequency (RF) transceiver architectures for radio communications systems.
2. Understand the basic concepts used for the design of radio communications circuits.
3. Understand effects of noise and nonlinearity distortion on RF systems and system
parameters such as noise figure, input/output referred noise, 1-dB compression point, third-
order intercept point, sensitivity and dynamic ranges.
4. Understand analogue and digital modulation schemes and multiple access techniques.
5. Analyze and design electronic circuits for communication systems, including LNA, Mixer,
Power Amplifier, Oscillators and Frequency synthesizer.
6. Read English textbook and to solve related problems.
7. Work as a team to solve a given problem (team project).
