Department of Radioelectronics

Synopsis:

The aim of the lectures is to explain a basic measurement methods which are used by measurement, testing and calibration in high frequency analogue and digital technique. Besides measurement methods an attention is also paid to modern HF devices and systems for automatic measurements. The exercises are focused on practical HF laboratory technique.
