Overview
UCL offers the Radio Frequency Circuits and Devices programme.
Key facts
- You'll learn about impedance matching, stability and noise figure for amplifier circuit design.
- This will be consolidated with a full-day computer simulation exercise where you'll perform RF amplifier design tasks using the industry standard software package Agilent ADS.
Programme Structure
Courses include:
- Fabrication of passive elements: inductors, capacitors and resistors
- Review of key aspects of semiconductor physics: band structure, effective mass and mobility, quantum wells and tunnelling
- Two-terminal devices: transferred electron devices (Gunn diodes), IMPATT diodes, varactors, PIN diodes, tunnel diodes and quantum tunnel diodes
- Overview of different transistor technologies for RF/microwave applications
- Impedance matching techniques (two-element L network, three-element matching, designing with Smith Chart, transmission-line matching network)
