13D031SRT - Modern Radio Technologies

Course specification
Course title		Modern Radio Technologies
Acronym		13D031SRT
Study programme		Electrical Engineering and Computing
Module		Telecommunications
Type of study		doctoral studies
Lecturer (for classes)		professor PhD Nataša Nešković
Lecturer/Associate (for practice)
Lecturer/Associate (for OTC)
ESPB		9.0	Status	elective
Condition		none
The goal		Advanced analysis and design of OFDM, MIMO and reconfigurable transceiver. Analysis of MIMO radio channels.
The outcome		Students are familiar with the principles of different transceiver architectures. They could work on their own on making changes in architecture to improve the performance of the whole system.
Contents
Contents of lectures		Fundamental concepts in wireless transceiver design. Transceiver architectures. Power amplifiers and comparative analysis of the linearization techniques. MIMO transceiver architectures (Antenna selection, FDM, TDM, CDM). RF impairments in OFDM and MIMO transceivers (noise, DC offset, I/Q imbalance). Reconfigurable transceivers.
Contents of exercises		Independent research, both theoretical and practical, work of candidates.
