Learning activities and teaching methods
|
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing)
|
Learning outcomes
|
The aim is to demonstrate the basic microwave electronics, functions, properties and design. The microwave amplifiers (broadband, IF, power and low-noise amplifiers), mixers and modulators, oscillators, synchronization and frequency multipliers are studied.
Students are able to orientate in RF and microwave electronics, functions, properties and design, microwave amplifiers (broadband, IF, power and low-noise amplifiers), mixers and modulators, oscillators, synchronization and frequency multipliers.
|
Prerequisites
|
The basic knowledge of electromagnetics, differentiation and integration are supposed.
|
Assessment methods and criteria
|
Oral examination
Students should demonstrate understating of solved problems considering the studied subjects during the term and final examination. The particular requirements are given by teacher during the first week
