Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
Intended learning outcomes
The student should be able to design analogue electronics aimed for high frequencies.
The student should after the course be able to
- design multistage transistor amplifiers with feedback and analyse its performance at high frequencies
- describe different kind of noise and their frequency spectral density
- calculate and measure noise level on amplifiers
- describe high frequency models för passive devices
- design matching networks for given line impedance
- explain voltage waves on a transmission line and explain why there are reflected waves
- define s-parameters
- explain different kind of power gain in amplifiers
- describe the design flow for high frequency amplifiers with conditionally and unconditionally stability
- design high frequency amplifiers with one transistor with given power gain and verify the stability of the amplifier
- measure reflected and transmitted waves with network analyzer

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Other requirements for final grade
Grading scale: A/B/C/D/E/Fx/F Laboratory assignments, 3,0 hp (LAB1)Written exam, 4,5 hp (TEN1)

Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
