Microwave Analog Frontend Design - II

Institute of Robust Power Semiconductor Systems

Advanced topics for the design of microwave and millimeter-wave monolithic integrated circuits (MMIC).

The lecture Microwave Analog Frontend Design - II will be offered as weekly as a face-to-face course according to the currently valid hygiene concept of the University of Stuttgart. The lecture is simultaneously broadcast as a live online course on the Internet (hybrid event). A login for participation in the web conferences will be made available on ILIAS. The live event will be recorded and made available for download as video file via ILIAS. In addition to the recordings, all lecture material such as scripts, slides, exercises and standard solutions, as well as examples of former exams will be made available for download through ILIAS.

Goal

This lecture covers advanced topics in the design of analog transmit and receive frontends at microwave and millimeter wave frequencies. While the first part of the lecture series “Microwave Analog Frontend Design” focuses on the design of the functional single stages, the second part focuses on techniques of non-linear circuit analysis, design techniques for mass production and packaging of monolithic millimeter-wave integrated circuits (MMIC). The instructor reserves the right to change the content of the course without prior notice.
