Applicability / Curricular relevance:
All study programs (with year of the version of study regulations) containing the course.

E917 (P211-0258) Electrical Engineering, Master, ASPO 01.10.2005 , semester 9, mandatory course
Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
60 class hours (= 45 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 150 hours (equivalent to 5 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 105 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dr. Martin Buchholz
Lecturer:
Prof. Dr. Martin Buchholz

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module, students will understand the structure and functional principles of complete transmitter/receiver systems used in high-frequency engineering. They will also be acquainted with transmission techniques and standards and will be able to compute and realize HF assemblies and systems. Students will be in a position to compute the antenna line-up for a transmission chain. They will acquire skills in the computer-aided design of HF circuits and systems, and will be able to calculate, optimize and construct different types of antennas and microstrip lines and will know how to measure and verify their properties.
