To-Do Date: Feb 16 at 11:59pm

ECE 5321/6323 Quick Overview of RF systems

    Overview & Instructions

    This module is a quick introduction to RF systems:

    • Learning Objectives:
      • Modulation Techniques are used to convert digital signals to analog signals for transmission
        • The modulation method and its bandwidth (data rate) control the required signal to noise ratio
      • Link Budgets tell us how much signal power we are transmitting and receiving
          • Friis transmission equation
          • Gain and Loss
          • Calculating the signal Link budget using dB
          • Calculating noise
