| Learning Outcome: | After successfully completing the module, students are acquainted with both the theory and the practical work involved in application-based RF ASIC design as well as characterization of the fabricated circuits. They not only know how to acquire scientific knowledge but are also able to place phenomena related to the lecture topics into a more general context while exploring links between the different topics. In addition, students possess personal skills such as the capability for teamwork, precise reasoning, perseverance and openmindedness. |
