Goal(s)

The objective of this course is to introduce students to the topic of signal integrity of RF and digital components.

To be able to understand the major trends in the development of integration technologies of electronic circuits (ICs and RF circuits)
To be able to improve signal integrity in electronic circuits (ICs and RF circuits).
To be able to implement techniques to characterize, to measure the performance of RF or digital components.
To be able to choose materials, substrates (dielectrics, conducting material…) according to their physical properties to improve the performances of electronic systems.
To be able to understand and take into account the parasitic effects of interconnections and packaging in the circuit design (modeling elements, coupling EM ...).
To be able to model physical phenomena related to the increase of the operating frequency.
