About this course

 
+ Learning Objectives
  • Spectral domain techniques for system design
    • RF architecture design and SPARCA, how Spectrasys works, channel and path definitions, level diagrams and spectrum plots and analysis settings.
    • Lab 1: You will create a system schematic, set up a Spectrasys RF system analysis, create power spectrum plots, add a level diagram, extend the system architecture with additional parts and adjust the signal power.
  • Intermodulation and more
    • S-parameters, X-parameters, MDIF import, frequency dependencies, intermodulation and compression, MultiSource, an amplifier example, sweeps and other evaluations (Optimization, Monte Carlo and Yield).
    • Lab 2: You will look at FM receiver design issues, improve receiver performance. You will become familiar with intermodulation measurements and optimization of the design for overall system performance.
  • Bringing RF System effects together with modulated, time domain waveforms.
    • Theory of operation, thermal noise, amplifier compression, multiple input and output, control pins, RF-chain with real modulation, the RF_Link component and setup.
    • Lab 3: Data Flow top level analysis using RF subcircuits.
+ Content Types
  • Video Lessons
  • Hands-on Labs
  • Knowledge Check
+ Who should take this course?
  • Engineers who create DSP circuits and System Architecture designers
+ Prerequisites
