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.
