After successful completion of the course, students are able to perform successful basic measurements in the fields of network analysis, spectrum analysation, and RF power measurement. When describing RF phenomena, they are able to switch from time domain interpretation to frequency domain, and vice versa.

Basic functional principles and basic measurements with spectrum analysers, network analysers, digital storage oscilloscopes, rf-oscillators, and frequency counters. Discussion of the worst mistakes in rf measurement setups. Three main items: spectrum measurements, measurements of the reflection coefficient, and noise reduction by bandwidth limitation. Discussion of the relevant phenomena in the time domain, and in the frequency domain, respectively.

Basic experimental measurements with RF measurement equipment focusing the main items of the course. All experiments are easy to understand on the knowledge level of bachelor courses Telecommunications and Wave Propagation, and after discussion and preparation in the lab group.

Blocked course in summer term, small groups, max. 12 participants in the course. Two hours introduction and three times lab session, approximately seven hours each. Room and time of the introduction lesson will be announced per hardcopy at the Institute 389 and 354, and in TISS per mail respectively. Students without TISS account, who have registered personally by mail will be informed by personal mail.

current oral evaluation in each of the three lab blocks
