Wireless circuit and system design: a new undergraduate laboratory

This paper describes an innovative new integrated lecture/laboratory course for electrical engineering juniors. The course, designed as the second course in a year-long sequence in electromagnetics, brings to life fundamental principles of electromagnetics through study of the circuit, signal, and system concepts used in today's wireless communication systems. The course is taught in a new lab whose state-of-the-art fabrication, measurement, and computing facilities provide hands-on experience in design, measurement, analysis, and simulation of circuits and systems.
