6.976 covers circuit and system level design issues of high speed communication systems, with primary focus being placed on wireless and broadband data link applications. Specific circuit topics include transmission lines, high speed and low noise amplifiers, VCO's, and high speed digital circuits. Specific system topics include frequency synthesizers, clock and data recovery circuits, and GMSK transceivers. In addition to learning analysis skills for the above items, students will gain a significant amount of experience in simulating circuits in SPICE and systems in CppSim (a custom C++ simulator).

Two 1 1/2 hour lectures per week. Problem sets (6 total) given out every one to two weeks – they will be project-oriented and involve a combination of analytical derivations and simulation in Hspice and CppSim (A C++ system level simulator). Project 1 will be focused on the design and SPICE simulation of a high speed frequency divider for phase-locked loop applications. Project 2 will be focused on the design and CppSim simulation of a GMSK transceiver for wireless applications. A midterm exam will be given. There is no final exam.
