Part-Time Programs in Engineering and Applied Science, Johns Hopkins University
RF and Microwaves II
525.775

Course Description
This course builds upon the knowledge gained in 525.774 RF and Microwave Circuits I. Here there is a greater emphasis on designs involving active components. Linear and power amplifiers and oscillators are considered, as well as stability, gain, and their associated design circles. The course uses computer-aided design techniques and students fabricate and test circuits of their own design.
