      The goal Advanced analysis and design of OFDM, MIMO and reconfigurable transceiver. Analysis of MIMO radio channels. Beamforming concepts.
      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). Beamforming concepts. 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.
