课程名称：射频与毫米波电路设计 概述：本课程由荷兰埃因霍温理工大学无线技术中心（CWT/e）提供，是一门独特的硕士级课程，旨在为学生提供深入的射频（RF）和毫米波（mmWave）电路设计知识以及实践经验。课程内容包括如何推导RF无线系统的规格，以及设计收发器的主要构件，如低噪声放大器、功率放大器、RF混频器、振荡器和相位锁定频率合成器。课程分为两个部分：理论讲座将涵盖RF和mmWave电路设计的基础内容；设计实验室则包括这些电路的仿真和实现。设计实验室虽然不是获取证书的必需条件，但强烈推荐，因为它让学生能够实践所学的理论知识，而实际实施电路的过程充满乐趣！学生可以使用仿真工具完成70%的设计实验，这已经提供了很好的学习体验。其余30%需要学生访问电子实验室或购买一些现成的元件。最终，这将使学生能够在家设计和构建自己的收发器！课程包含理论视频课程、实例、测验、完整的仿真文件、逐步程序、真实电路的记录数据及解决方案视频，以帮助学生学习并更好地构建电路。 课程大纲： 1. **引言到射频与毫米波电路设计** 该模块将介绍射频与毫米波电路设计课程及其无线系统主题，展示学习目标、评分系统、支持材料、入门课程及设计实验室的使用方法。 2. **无线系统** 本模块将介绍无线技术的发展历史、无线系统设计及射频系统规格。详细阐述收发器的理念，包括路径损耗、干扰信号、接收器灵敏度和发射器输出功率。此外，还包括第一次设计实验，设计一个无线罐头电话的系统。 3. **放大器** 放大器模块将介绍放大器的基本概念、功率增益的类型和常用放大器拓扑架构。学生还将学习低噪声放大器的匹配和功率放大器的类别。第二次设计实验将重点放在设计LNAs和PAs上。 4. **混频器** 混频器模块将介绍RF混频器的工作原理和基本概念，解释主动混频器和被动混频器之间的差异，详细说明平衡混频器和非平衡混频器的优缺点，强调混频器的噪声性能。第三次设计实验将涵盖上、下变频混频器的设计。 5. **振荡器** 振荡器模块将介绍频率振荡器的工作原理及其基本概念，如维持振荡的条件。学生将学习不同的振荡器拓扑结构，振荡器的调谐方法及其噪声对信号的影响，最后还将解释输出缓冲和击穿电压对振荡器的影响。第四次设计实验将重点放在设计可调电压振荡器（VCO）上。 6. **合成器** 合成器模块将介绍频率合成器的工作原理及其基本概念。学生将学习合成器在现代无线通信中的重要性、相位锁定环（PLL）类型的优缺点，以及PLL频率合成器对信号噪声性能的影响。最后，将详细论述分数-N PLL频率合成器的架构和使用。第五次也是最后一次设计实验将包含频率分频器和相位检测器的设计。
Name:Introduction to RF & mm-Wave Circuit Design Course
Description:This module will introduce the student to the RF and mm-Wave Circuit Design course and to the topic of wireless systems. It will present the learning objectives, grading system, supporting material, introductory class, and design labs. Besides, it will show the student how to use the simulation tools and the equipment used in the design labs.
Name:Wireless Systems
Description:The module on Wireless Systems will introduce the student to the history of wireless technologies, wireless system design, and RF system specifications. Concepts about transceivers will be detailed, such as path loss, interference signals, receiver sensitivity, and transmitter output power. It also includes the first design lab, the system design of a Wireless Tin Can Telephone.
Name:Amplifiers
Description:The Amplifiers module will introduce the student to the basic concepts of amplifiers, types of power gain, and the most used amplifier topologies. The student will also learn about low noise amplifier matching and power amplifiers classes. The second design lab will focus on designing LNAs and PAs.
Name:Mixers
Description:The Mixers module will introduce the student to the working principle of RF mixers and their basic concepts. The difference between active and passive mixers will be explained, the advantages and drawbacks of balanced and unbalanced mixers will be detailed, and the mixer's noise performance highlighted. The third design lab will cover the design of up and down-conversion mixers.
Name:Oscillators
Description:The Oscillators module will introduce the student to the working principles of frequency oscillators and their basic concepts, like condition to sustain an oscillation. The student will learn about different topologies of oscillators, why and how to tune oscillators, and the impact of noise in the oscillator's signal. At last, the influence of output buffering and breakdown voltage on oscillators will also be explained. The fourth design lab will focus on designing a Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO).
Name:Synthesizers
Description:The Synthesizers module will introduce the student to the working principles of frequency synthesizers and their basic concepts. The student will learn about the importance of using synthesizers in modern wireless communications, the Phase-Locked Loop types I and II, the advantages and drawbacks of using All-Digital PLL, and the impact of the PLL frequency synthesizer on the signal's noise performance. At last, the architecture and usage of fractional-N PLL frequency synthesizers will be detailed. The fifth and last design lab will contain the design of a frequency divider and a phase detector.
This unique Master-level course offered by the Center for Wireless Technology Eindhoven (CWT/e) of the Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands, provides students with in-depth knowledge and hands-on experience on RF and mmWave circuit design. The course covers the topics on how to derive the RF wireless systems specifications, and how to design the main building blocks of a transceiver, i.e., low noise amplifier, power amplifier, RF mixers, oscillators, and PLL frequency synthesizers. It is divided into two parts: (1) theoretical lectures will cover the basis of RF and mmWave Circuit Design; and (2) design labs will include simulation and implementation of these circuits. The design labs are completely optional for obtaining the certificate, but they are recommended because they allow students to put into practice all the acquired theoretical knowledge, and of course, implementing the circuits is where all the fun is! The students will be able to do 70% of the design labs using simulation tools, which already offers a great learning experience. The other 30% will require students to either get access to an electronics lab or to purchase a few off-the-shelf components. But ultimately, this would allow students to design and build their own transceiver at home! The course contains theoretical video classes with examples, quizzes, and an entire set of simulation files, step-by-step procedures, recorded data of real-life circuits, and solution videos so that students can learn from and build even better circuits.
