Recommendations: basic knowledge on electronic devices; theory and analysis of electrical circuits; fundamentals of microelectronics technology
Provide the concepts, techniques and tools for the design and implementation of analog integrated systems as fundamental blocks for communication systems. The studies will cover future trends of these integrated systems in terms of design and technological predictions.
1. Design and analysis of the basic building blocks in CMOS integrated systems for analog applications
2.-Design of integrated circuits for radiofrequency communication systems. Basic concepts and circuits .
3. Limits and trends of the radiofrequency integrated circuits and systems

This subject does not foresee the single assessment system
The continuous assessment is based on the following qualifications:
• 1 partial exam (20%): written (first partial). recoverable activity
• 1 partial exam (20%): oral presentation (second partial). recoverable activity
• Laboratory report (written) (30%). Mandatory and non-recoverable activity.
• Delivery of analog circuit design problems along the course (30%). Non-recoverable activity.
There will be a final recovery exam, mandatory if the average of the two partial exams is still below 4. The resulting final exam score will be weighted by 40%.
The qualification "Not evaluated" will be only granted if the student does not participate in any evaluation activities (lab sessions, oral exposition, exams)
The qualification "Matrícula d'Honor" can be granted to the 5% of the students enrolled with scores that exceed the qualification of 9 in all the assessment activities and that the final qualification is still higher than 9.3.
