These are essential for students who would like to pursue a career in the field of wireless communications. The course will cover planar transmission lines, including microstrip and coplanar lines, S-parameters, matching networks, power dividers\/combiners, directional couplers, low-pass and band-pass filters, diode detectors, mixers, attenuators, phase-shifters, as well as high-gain and low-noise RF amplifiers. Students will be familiarized with the design, fabrication, and measurement of RF and microwave circuits using state-of-the-art high-frequency CAD tools and network\/spectrum analyzers.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_7 et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<p>[4 credits Major Design Experience and Upper Technical Elective]<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.gc.sjtu.edu.cn\/xuyang-lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2021\/11\/VE411_Syllabus.pdf\">VE411_Syllabus<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2><strong>VE311:\u00a0Analog Circuits<\/strong> <strong style=\"color: var(--ast-global-color-2);font-size: 2rem;background-color: var(--ast-global-color-5)\">[<\/strong><strong style=\"color: var(--ast-global-color-2);font-size: 2rem;background-color: var(--ast-global-color-5)\">Summer <\/strong><strong>Semesters<\/strong><strong style=\"color: var(--ast-global-color-2);font-size: 2rem;background-color: var(--ast-global-color-5)\">]<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Description<\/strong>: VE 311 covers single-transistor amplifier design and analysis of circuits commonly used in audio amplifiers, wireless radios, and several other interface applications. Non-linear, large-signal models for diodes, MOSFETs, and BJTs are introduced. The concept of biasing transistors at an operating point and analyzing gain and frequency response using small-signal analysis is also covered. Active filters and non-ideal operational amplifiers are also reviewed. Common amplifier topologies and design strategies are analyzed, and students implement these through a series of lab experiments.<\/p>\n<p>[4 credits Program Subject]<\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"color: #000080\">Graduate Courses<\/span><\/h1>\n<h2><strong>ECE6101J: Analog Circuits<\/strong> <strong style=\"color: var(--ast-global-color-2);font-size: 2rem;background-color: var(--ast-global-color-5)\">[<\/strong><strong style=\"color: var(--ast-global-color-2);font-size: 2rem;background-color: var(--ast-global-color-5)\">Spring <\/strong><strong>Semesters<\/strong><strong style=\"color: var(--ast-global-color-2);font-size: 2rem;background-color: var(--ast-global-color-5)\">]<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Description<\/strong>: VE 611 covers high-frequency passive and active circuits.
