EE4730 High frequency wireless architectures

The course covers the following topics:

  1. Time-domain systems with photo-conductive antennas
  2. Line of Sight communication systems with directive antennas
  3. Imaging systems at high frequencies

Study Goals

The students will be able to

  • Understand time-domain sensing systems and photoconductive pulsed source modeling techniques
  • Analyze spectroscopic measurements obtained on a time-domain system
  • Understand high-frequency communication scenarios and their trade-offs
  • Apply quasi-optical system concepts on over-the-air high-frequency antenna measurements
  • Understand high-frequency imaging systems and their trade-offs
  • Apply quasi-optical system concepts on a real high-frequency imaging system
