Summary
The module concerns the engineering of RF and THz electronic systems with an emphasis on microwaves devices and circuits for wireless communication and instrumentation. The objective of this module is to provide students with the fundamental basis necessary for the design, simulation, realization, characterization of microwave devices and circuits, and their insertion in communication and detection circuits. The module offers both theoretical and practical training leading to the mastery of future technologies for generating, transmitting, detecting and analyzing electromagnetic waves in the wavelength range of cm, mm and sub mm. The knowledge acquired allows the understanding and development of devices on several levels of description covering physics, components, systems and associated applications. This approach is necessary to understand the complexity of microwave systems. We will be particularly interested in the analysis and design of microwave devices and functions: Transmission lines, waveguides, microwave networks, amplifiers, mixers, oscillators and antennas. It will also be necessary to learn how to establish a specification in the microwave field and to implement solutions from the design stage to the realization and validation stage. Examples of design, realization and validation are fully covered through seminars, case studies and mini-projects. Module contents: 1.Introduction: microwave history and applications. 2. Line theory. 3. Smith diagram & Impedance matching. 4. Theory of electromagnetic waveguides. 5. Microwave networks: S-parameters, power dividers, couplers, etc. 6. Active circuits: Amplifiers, Oscillators, Mixers, etc. 7. Introduction to antennas and antenna parameters.
Educational goals
Upon completion of the course, students will be able to: 1. Fully understand the challenges of very high frequency design. 2. Calculate the parameters of various microwave transmission lines. 3. Analyze the operation of various passive circuits. 4. Synthesize basic passive devices in waveguide and planar technology. 5. Calculate the S-parameters of microwave devices (dipoles and quadrupoles). 6. Understand the operation of non-reciprocal devices. 7. Make proper use of various active elements available at these frequencies. 8. Design active circuits at radio frequencies as well as at centimeter and millimeter waves. 9. Explain the fundamental properties of an antenna at transmission and reception, calculate the various parameters characterizing it, and size/design an antenna. 10. Use ADS software to design microwave components and circuits.
