ECE5524 | RF Intergrated Circuits | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | 1-4 | - | No | |
This course deals with the analysis and design of RF integrated circuits and systems. The course begins with the necessary background knowledge from microwave and communication theory and explains the differences between analog IC and RF IC design. Next, the course explores RF transceiver architectures and presenting various receiver and transmitter topologies along with merits and drawbacks. Then, the design of RF building blocks is followed including low noise amplifiers and mixers, oscillators, and frequency synthesizers. After finishing this course, the students will deeply understand the internal operation of modern transceivers and have basic knowledge and design skills for RFICs. | |||||||||

ECE5546 | Data Compression Theory | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | 1-4 | - | No | |
This class introduces fundamental theories and practical algorithms necessary to understand various lossless data compression techniques widely used for digital data such as audio, video, and text. It makes students have real experiences of dealing with such techniques by programming exercises. This class starts with introducing information theory and signal processing theory which lay basic foundation for lossless compression. Followed are the Huffman coding, arithmetic coding, and their many derivatives. Next topics are the dictionary-based compression methods such as LZW and the predictive coding method. The later part of the class is dedicated to analysis and hands-on programming exercises of practical lossless techniques found in the most recent JPEG and MPEG standards and recent relevant technical papers. | |||||||||
