Section Title:
Microwave Vac Pwr Elect
Section Info:
Microwave Vacuum Power Electronics This is an undergraduate/graduate level course in modern microwave vacuum power electronics (microwave tubes). This course will present the theoretical concepts used in the design of klystrons, traveling-wave amplifiers, magnetrons, and gyrotrons. The course will also discuss relevant aspects of associated technologies such as high-voltage electron guns, thermionic cathodes, depressed collectors, magnets, and ultrahigh vacuum technology. The course will focus on the design of high performance tubes developed for specific applications such as satellite communications, radar, radio astronomy, particle accelerators, and industrial plasmas. Topics include noise and distortion in amplifiers, recent research trends, and advances in simulation codes. Prerequisites: Credit in ECE 340 and ECE 350.

Section Title:
Quantum Info Processing Theory
Section Info:
This course introduces the basic concepts and principles of quantum computing and quantum communication theory. Roughly 20% of the course will be devoted to teaching the necessary mathematical tools of quantum information processing, 30% to quantum computing, 40% to quantum communication, and 10% to device-independent quantum information theory. The specific topics covered in this course are chosen to reflect areas of high interest within the research community over the past two decades. By the end of the semester, the student should be equipped with enough background and technical skill set to begin participating in quantum information research. Required: MATH 286 or introductory course in linear algebra. Recommended: ECE 487 or introductory course in quantum mechanics, ECE 313 or introductory course in probability/statistics.

Section Title:
Radio-Frequency IC Design
Section Info:
This course will cover basic principles of modern wireless transceiver design using integrated circuit technology at radio frequency (100 MHz to 6 GHz) for wireless communication applications, such as 5G and WiFi. Building upon the circuit skills learned from ECE 342 “Electronic Circuits”, this new course teaches analysis and design of integrated circuits that operate at much higher frequencies and for wireless communications in specific. In addition, the electromagnetic fields and waves fundamentals in ECE 329 “Fields and Waves I” will be applied to modern wireless communication systems in this new course. Prerequisites: ECE 342, ECE 329
