Course detail
Simulation of Communication Subsystems
FEKT-BPC-SKSAcad. year: 2021/2022
Students become familiar with principles of passive and active microwave circuits simulation using software Ansoft HFSS and Designer. Students use theoretical knowledge from previous courses (antennas filters, amplifiers ...) for computer aided design. Students will learn principles of selected numerical methods and methods of local and global optimization. The course is terminated by an individual project, where students design a model of selected microwave circuit.
