RadioFrequency for connected objects

Organisation

Cours/TD/TP/projet/examen : 21/15/6/3

Acquis d'apprentissage

All the students, at the end of the course, will be able to:
- Integrate the basic functions of a standard microwave systems, like sensor networks or wireless local area networks,through theoretical works.
- Carry out the basic concepts through practical experiments, by groups of two students.
- Apprehend a suitable approach for a professional simulation software (ADS, Advanced Design System), either individually or by groups of two students.
- Combine the above skills in order to simulate the performance of a simple radio system in the case of a connected object of limited complexity.
