Course content
FE8150 consists of 3 modules. The students choose two of the modules for in-depth focus, but must follow all modules in the course:
I Nonlinear modelling and stability analysis
II Advanced RF/microwave measurement techniques of linear and nonlinear components
III Radar Remote Sensing
I Nonlinear modelling and stability analysis
Course content: Analysis of active nonlinear microwave components. Nonlinear modeling of transistors, active system components for transmitters and receivers in radio system. Modeling of nonlinear conditions in oscillators, power amplifiers and mixers. Parasitic Oscillations
Responsible: Morten Olavsbråten
II Advanced RF/microwave measurement techniques of linear and nonlinear components
Course content: Calibration techniques, accuracy and repeatability in RF measurements. Measurements of linear and nonlinear components, both discrete and on wafer. Microwave instrumentation.
Responsible: Morten Olavsbråten
III Radar Remote Sensing
Course content: Analysis of active and passive microwave remote sensing techniques, such as radar, radiometry, imaging radar, synthetic aperture radar (SAR), inverse SAR, interferometric SAR, and radar polarimetry both from satellite and airborne platforms.
Responsible: Egil Eide

Learning methods and activities
Colloquium, lectures and lab-exercises. The students choose two of the modules for in-depth focus, but must follow all modules in the course
Further on evaluation
The Exam will focus mainly on the two topics the students have chosen as in-depth focus.
Required previous knowledge
Relevant background similar to that of ph.d.-students working at the Circuit and Radio Systems group.
Course materials
Course material will be defined at the beginning of the course.
