14074 - Radio Frequency Measurement Techniques Modulübersicht

Module Number: 14074
Module Title:Radio Frequency Measurement Techniques
  Hochfrequenz-Messtechnik
Department: Faculty 1 - Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, Electrical Engineering and Information Technology
Responsible Staff Member:
  • Prof. Dr.-Ing. Rudolph, Matthias
Language of Teaching / Examination:English
Duration:1 semester
Frequency of Offer: Every summer semester
Credits: 6
Learning Outcome:After successfully completing the module, students know to measure which radio frequency quantities. They are familiar with common measurement systems and calibration procedures. They can estimate measurement uncertainty and know strategies to determine relevant quantities from raw measurement data.
Contents:In this project laboratory, students acquire a sound knowledge of network analysis. For this purpose, a network analyzer including calibration and measurement routines is realized on the basis of a kit and used for the characterization of two-ports. The students are introduced to the theory of network analysis and are continuously supervised during the semester.
Recommended Prerequisites:
  • Basic knowledge of radio frequency and microwave electronics
  • Basic knowledge of Python or Matlab
Mandatory Prerequisites:None
Forms of Teaching and Proportion:
  • Lecture / 2 Hours per Week per Semester
  • Practical training / 2 Hours per Week per Semester
  • Self organised studies / 120 Hours
Teaching Materials and Literature:

Module Examination:Continuous Assessment (MCA)
Assessment Mode for Module Examination:In order to do justice to the character of a project laboratory, working methods and results achieved as well as the final written and oral presentation of the work are included in the overall grade as follows:
  • Realization of the network analyzer including the implementation of the calibration routines (40%).
  • measurement of test two-port devices and interpretation of the measurement results (20%)
  • written final report, 15-25 pages, with presentation of results, 10-15 min (Scope depends on the processed project task.) (40%)
Evaluation of Module Examination:Performance Verification – graded
Limited Number of Participants:None
