TLTE3060 RF Technology
Lecturer
Mohammed Elmusrati
Introduction:
In this course we study the
concepts of RF circuits and systems. At very high frequencies, the wavelength
becomes comparable with the components and transmission lines dimensions. The
conventional voltage-current analysis tools cannot be applied (as it is) anymore!
