Analysis and synthesis of antenna elements and arrays. Topics include linear antennas, self and mutual impedances, aperture, travelling wave, and broadband antennas. Prerequisite: E&C-Eng 334 or equivalent.

Topics include standard circuit building blocks such as current mirrors, voltage references, single stage amplifier topologies, differential pairs. Device models, bias choices, temperature effects, the body effect, and mismatch. Op-amp and OTA design as well as frequency response, noise analysis, stability, and compensation. The course will include readings in Filter Design, Common Mode Feedback, and Distortion. A design project required, which can be related to the student's research or possibly another advanced E&C-ENG course such as RF systems, biology, or communications.

Fundamental concepts and systems aspects of computer networks. Topics include a review of the layered Internet architecture and encompass router design, lookup and classification algorithms, scheduling algorithms, congestion control, wireless protocols, and network security. The goal of the course is to explore the key technical and research questions in computer networks as well as to convey the necessary analytical, simulation, and measurement techniques.

Principles of algorithms for fast execution of arithmetic operations in digital computers. Basic operations in fixed-point, floating-point and unconventional number systems. More complex function eval-uation, including trigonometric functions. Prerequisite: E&C-ENG 568.

A graduate version of E&C-Eng 558 which includes additional readings in VLSI architecture, CAD, and systems. A more ambitious design project required, which can be related to the student's research or possibly another advanced E&C-Eng course such as digital signal processing, control, computer architecture, or computer graphics. Prerequisites: E&C-ENG 212 and 221 or equivalent.

The Internet age of universal electronic connectivity is vital for every aspect of our lives and our economy. It enables businesses, transportation, electronic banking, health records, as well as entertainment. To maintain the integrity of the Internet, it is vital to protect and defend this infrastructure from malicious viruses, worms, eavesdropping, electronic fraud, denial-of-service attacks etc.

Fundamental quantum mechanical principles; basis for advanced courses in semiconductor electronics, microwave magnetics, quantum electronics, etc. Solutions of Schrodinger's equation pertinent for electrical engineers. Prerequisite: ECE 344 or equivalent.
