High Speed Communication Circuits: Course Description

In 'High Speed Communication Circuits' OpenCourseWare, students will study various applications on wireless and broadband communication systems in this free graduate-level course. Some of the lecture topics discussed in this course include communication systems, noise modeling amplifiers, broadband amplifiers, mixers, wave guides and transmission lines and transceiver architectures. The class was taught by MIT Professors Hae-Seung Lee and Michael Perrott in 2005 in lecture sessions held two times per week. Graduate students will also have the opportunity to work on a lab project that consists of simulating and building RF circuits in SPICE. Students should have working knowledge of Virtuoso Spectre computer software in order to work on the SPICE model labs. The course requires the use of the textbook 'The Design of CMOS Radio-Frequency Integrated Circuits' by Thomas H. Lee.

This OpenCourseWare includes lecture notes, labs, assignments and study materials. If you are interested in taking this free course, visit the high speed communication systems course page.
