Overordnede kursusmål
The aim of the course is to present to participants recent advances in the field of high-speed, microwave, and terahertz integrated electronics. The course will enable the participants to evaluate current limitations in high-frequency semiconductor devices and to develop or refine large-signal and small-signal circuits operating up to terahertz frequencies. The participants of the course will be introduced to advanced design techniques for Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits (MMICs) based on nonlinear circuit analysis and electromagnetic simulations. Furthermore, the participants will also be introduced to high-speed integrated circuit design for optical communication receivers. Finally, the participants will improve their scientific dissimination skills by giving presentations and preparing scientific articles.
