Modulation, basics in electronics.
The objectives of this course are to understand the physics of transmission in propagation lines but also of radio frequency signals in free air. This course also exposes the optimization of power transfer and the principles of impedance matching. Finally this course exposes the study of signal integrity in a transmission/reception chain.
Study of information transmission and power transfer optimization. It includes impedance matching theory, radio link budget and signal integrity.
Maxwell's equation
Guided transmission (propagation line, telegrapher's equation)
Impedance matching
Smith's abacus
Physics of an antenna
Radio frequency propagation in free air (FRIIS link budget)
Non-linearity and study of signal integrity
Proctored homework.
