- The syllabus relevant for the exam includes chapters 2, 3, 4, 5 and 8 in the text book (Chapter 1 is only for information) and lectured material. The two guest lectures are excluded from the syllabus.
- If you have followed lectures, completed all assignments and gone through previous exams, you should not get any surprises on the exam.
- The purpose of the exam is to show that you understand the topics of the course and can apply it.
- You may bring an "Approved Calculator" for the exam. Relevant formulas, tables etc. will be included in the exam.
- If your name should not be on the list of candidates, insist on taking the exam and we will sort it out later (As long as you have completed and passed all assignments)
- If you have any questions, send Mathias or me an email, and we will answer as soon as possible.
- Good luck!
The exam from last year has been added to the list of previous exams.
There will be a summary lecture on Wednesday 13/12 at 10.15 where the most relevant topics will be repeated before the exam.

Assignment 4: new deadline at 26/11.
Please come to the group session tomorrow so I can help you with the project.
I'm usually in my office so I can help you with the project at other times as well, send me an email or knock on my door.
I have published the last assignment as well, with deadline 20/11
Tomorrow Wednesday Nov. 8th, Sumit Bagga from Novelda will present an actual industry use-case.
Assignment 3 deadline moved to Sunday 29/10.
I wont be able to attend the group session today due to illness (again..) However, I will be available on email if you should have any questions related to the assignment or project.
Today I was thinking to go through transistor biasing in ADS with you. I have uploaded two ADS schematics in the "project" folder for 1) biasing and 2) s-parameters for a biased transistor.
1) In the DC bias schematic you run a simulation with different Vg while sweeping Vd and probing the currents. This should help you choose a suitable BIAS point.
2) With the correct bias voltage you can start looking at the transistors S-parameters. In both schematics I've used ideal DC-feed (lossless inductor with high inductance) and DC-block (lossless capacitor with high capacitance). These components will not alter your S-parameters. If you run this simulation you can look at S11 & S22 (input and output reflection coefficient), S...
No lecture tomorrow due to travel arrangements. Please see the schedule for an updated plan

Due to illness I'm not going to be at the group session tomorrow. However, I will be available for questions on email from 10-12. etc
What you can do:
1) Import the transistor model into ADS (download the .zep etc)
2) Set up a DC simulation, how does the I-V-curves look for this transistor?
3) Find a suitable BIAS point
-Mathias
The semester project is available in the assignments folder.
Deadline for the project is 20/11-2017
I will talk more about the project and ADS on this weeks group session.
Note that assignment 3 has deadline 26/10
Please come to the group session tomorrow. I will go through the use of ADS, the software you're going to use in the project.
The lecturer is sick today. The lecture will be shifted one week.
Assignment 2 is now available
Deadline is Thursday 5/10 (23:59)
There will be no group lecture today, however I will publish the next assignment. -Mathias
There will be no lecture this week due to traveling arrangements. Please see the schedule for the updated plan.
The first assignment is now published, with deadline 21/09
You can deliver your answers to me by email or on paper.
Since todays lecture was canceled, there were some questions on whether the group lecture this week would be held as planned. The group lecture will be held as planned on Thursday 31/8.
The lecturer is sick today. The lecture will be shifted one week.
