Objectives and Contextualisation
This course has been created with a user perspective, oriented towards the acquisition of competences in the use of the CAD software tools that industry generally uses in the field of RF-FEM components manufacturing and Antennas, along with presence in the markets of communications infrastructures, sector of mobile communications, broadcasting, space sector or automotive between many others.
The use of the subject by the student will mean that this acquires new methodologies and skills for the efficient exploitation of software tools available in a wide variety of situations for the development of the profession.
Competences
Develop personal work habits.
Develop thinking habits.
Learn new methods and technologies, building on basic technological knowledge, to be able to adapt to new situations.
Select and devise communication circuits, subsystems and systems that are guided or non-guided by electromagnetic, radiofrequency or optical means to fulfil certain specifications.
Work in a team.
Learning Outcomes
Contrast numerical and analytical results.
Describe the main methodologies of modelling and simulation, and choose the most suitable for the simulation of a certain subsystem.
Develop independent learning strategies.
Develop the capacity for analysis and synthesis.
Measure the parameters of a communication system on the basis of simulation results.
Use software tools for electromagnetic and radiofrequency analysis.
