The program aims to prepare you for an advanced engineering
career or PhD studies in the wireless field. By joining this program
you will get
· A thorough knowledge of methods and tools for the design
and construction of modern wireless hardware.
· A strong theoretical base in the fields of electromagnetic
field theory and microwave circuit theory.
· A comprehensive understanding of systems, building blocks,
and components for wireless.
· Hands-on experience through numerous lab exercises, giving
a good insight into modern measurement techniques.
· Training in project management, team-work, and written
and oral reporting.
· A step into industrial reality through a project.
Outline of Course Curriculum
The program comprises 40 credit units (cu) of courses (corresponding
to one year of full-time studies), and a master thesis project
of 20 cu. The courses are taught through lectures, lab exercises
and tutorials. Homework assignments and project work are essential
parts of the program, and you will invest a considerable amount
of your time, both as an individual and together with your student
colleagues.
The following list shows the courses (courses marked with * are
mandatory):
· Introduction to Wireless Engineering *
· Foundations for Microwave Engineering *
· Wireless System Engineering *
· Active Microwave Circuits *
· Antenna Engineering *
· Satellite Links (elective)
· Optoelectronics (elective)
· Radar & Remote Sensing (elective)
· MM and SubMM Receiver Technology for Instrumentation
(elective)
· Wireless Communications (elective)
· Electronics Manufacturing (elective)
· Process Technology for Microelectronics (elective)
· Design of Microwave Monolithic Integrated Circuits (elective)
Project
The project is a problem based design assignment, where the
students get to handle a project from beginning to end. The student
project team will consist of 6-8 students, and will have professional
engineers and scientists from industry and academia as advisors.
The project is conducted according to typical industrial project
management models. The project has a time-plan with milestones
and regular oral presentations and written reports.
Master’s thesis
A master’s thesis project concludes the studies. The student
spends about six months on a project, working either for a university
or an industrial R&D department. The project results in a
written thesis, which is orally presented as well.
Master's thesis should be made in one of the following areas:
