Module 4: RF System Learning Materials

To-Do Date: Feb 16 at 11:59pm
 

ECE 5321/6323 LEARNING MATERIALS

Introduction

  • We'll go over these topics today in class. No need to prep for today ... prep for Thursday (impedance matching), instead.
  • 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
