6 CFU

--

Students are strongly encouraged to attend the lectures and lab classes, in order to achieve good skills for a succesful final exam. The slides of lectures are available at the following site: http://www.dii.unisi.it/~adis/Courses/ The site is accessible under password, provided in the class. The timetable of the course could also be modified according to the needs of the attending students.

Course material and communications. All course material - lecture slides, laboratory handouts, worked design examples, exercises, assignments and notices - is published on the USiena Integra (Moodle) page of the course (https://elearning.unisi.it). Students are asked to enrol on the course page at the beginning of the semester, since it is also the channel used for communications concerning the schedule of the lectures and of the laboratory sessions.
Office hours. The lecturer is available for individual meetings by appointment, arranged by e-mail; meetings can also be held remotely. Students who cannot attend the scheduled sessions are encouraged to make use of office hours to agree on an individual study path.
Computer laboratory. The laboratory sessions take place in the computer laboratory of the Department, on workstations equipped with a microwave CAD environment for circuit and electromagnetic simulation. Details on the location of the laboratory, its opening hours and the conditions of access outside the scheduled sessions are published on the course page.
Additional activities. Seminars given by professionals from industry and demonstration sessions on measurement and design tools for high-frequency systems may be organised during the semester, compatibly with their availability; they are optional and are not part of the final assessment. Students interested in developing a thesis project in the area of high-frequency components and subsystems are invited to contact the lecturer.

It is strongly recommended that students attend all lectures
