> Formation > Cursus ingénieur
Knowledge of integrable, radio systems architecture, understanding of the different constitutive blocks, and the performance limitations.
Be able to analyze and specify each block (at system level), in order to reach the global targetted specification.
Both today and future trends are studied.
-Basics: Radio link budget, modulation choice. Bases of radio transmission, antennas basics.
-Frequency translation based architectures: Heterodyne & superheterodyne receivers, ZIF, NZIF, UWB, software radio & future trends.
-Performance evaluations &optimization: Sensitivity, phase noise &selectivity, IP2 & IP3.
-Study of existing systems: Dedicated ISM band TRX, DECT, Bluetooth.
-Integration &technologies: CMOS/RF CMOS & trends.
Knowledge about digital transmission technics & modulations.
