Asynchronous sequential logic design. VHDL programming language, applications and design. Isolating amplifiers, DC-DC converters, noise in amplifiers. RF transformers, transformer and stripline combiners and couplers. Mixers. Local oscillators for LF to SHF. Impedance matching and power amplifiers. RF component computer simulation and design optimisation. PCB technology, design tools, cost factors and limitations. Thick film and thin film techniques.
Learning Objectives:
- demonstrate an understanding of the use and design of synchronous sequential logic circuits;
- demonstrate an understanding of and a capability for the design of RF electronic circuits;
- demonstrate an ability in using VHDL and CPLD and FPGA design tools to program and design CPLD and FPGA circuits;
- demonstrate a knowledge of PCB design tools and materials for both RF and conventional boards;
- present, explain and justify the components and techniques used in an RF design.
Assessment by examination (50%-70%); on-course assessment (30%-50%).
