High Speed Electronic Circuits (ELCT 1003)
Offered By:
Information Engineering and Technology Faculty
Description
The high speed electronic circuits course (ELCT 902) will cover high frequency circuits with special attentions to integrated circuits at both transistor and system levels. The course include high frequency analog building blocks like the current conveyors and the current feedback operational amplifiers, high-speed amplifiers and tuned amplifiers, high frequency oscillators and high speed A/D converters. All the course topics will be analyzed and designed based on intuitive design methods, physical understanding, quantitative performance evaluation using both hand calculation and simulation, and technology limitations. Following subjects will be covered:
- Introduction: Electronic circuits in Communication systems
- Current conveyors and Current Feedback amplifiers
- High speed amplifiers
- High speed tuned amplifiers
- Distortion analysis
- Amplifier noise
- MOS Low Noise Amplifier (LNA)
- High Frequency oscillators
- High speed Mixers
- High speed A/D converters
