Study objectives
This course leads to the position of designer of advanced electronic devices, as communicating devices as well as devices integrating advanced and miniaturized sensors. Graduates can work in sectors requiring specific electronic circuits and advanced miniaturized sensors (transportation, home automation, medical applications, environmental follow-up), in industrial domains requiring measurement facilities (quality control, energy, smart cities), as well as telecommunication domain (development of communication devices, monitoring of service quality).
Due to the rapid evolution of the related technologies, solid knowledge are brought in physics, technology and design methodology.
This course provides a double skill on micro-technologies as well as communication system design. Knowledge in these domains cover several levels. First, solid theoretical knowledge are brought in physics (physics of materials and components), as well as on communication systems and microwave devices. Then, methodological aspects are treated, with design methods of analog and digital circuits, circuit programming, and consideration of electromagnetic compatibility aspects in circuits and systems. Finally, the experimental know-how concern technological aspects, measurements as well as modeling and computation tools.

| RF and microwave circuits design After emphasizing the reasons of the difference between high-frequency behaviour of electric components from their low-frequency behaviour, new vocabulary and analysis methods followed by new design techniques are presented and applied. In order to cover different circuit components, a basic system of radio transmitter and receiver is considered. Each block in the chain is studied considering its individual functional properties and its interaction with other neighbouring components in the chain, with different constraints to consider and trade-offs to make. The course is divided into 5 chapters: Introduction to RF circuits, Issues in RF design, Amplifiers, Mixers, Oscillators. Seminar: microwave sources. Practical works performed using ADS software.

Signal integrity deals with problems linked to signal transmission in integrated circuits and several conductors. The EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) studies unintentional couplings encountered when two devices work at the same time. These phenomena disturb the transfer of fast signals. The concrete case of a multilayer integrated circuit using a last generation FPGA and DDR3 memories is studied. Signal transmission between the FPGA and the memories is studied using Cadence Allegro and Hyperlynx softwares. The components are represented using Ibis models.
