| Learning objective | Der Amateurfunk ermöglicht es, drahtlos über weite Distanzen zu kommunizieren. Doch darf eine Amateurfunk-Station nicht ohne Weiteres betrieben werden. Voraussetzung ist das Ablegen der Amateurfunkprüfung HB3 oder HB9 beim BAKOM. In diesem Kurs werden wir einen Überblick über die wichtigsten Themengebiete des Amateurfunks bieten. Im praktischen Teil werdet ihr unter anderem die Gelegenheit haben, das Funkgerät selbst in die Hand zu nehmen. In einem Portabel-Ausflug (nicht testatpflichtig) werden wir zudem draussen eine mobile Funkstation aufbauen und bedienen. Nach dem Kurs habt ihr die Möglichkeit, die HB9-Prüfung abzulegen. Mit der Prüfung in der Tasche könnt ihr dann auch die Funkbude des AMIV auf dem ETZ-Dach verwenden oder auch eure eigene Anlage aufbauen und betreiben. Voraussetzung für das Testat ist eine aktive Teilnahme am Kurs, nicht das Bestehen der BAKOM-Prüfung. Eine erfolgreiche Funkverbindung zu einer anderen Station ist ebenfalls Teil der Testatbedingung. Das Lernmaterial wird in der ersten Kursstunde ausgegeben. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Learning objective | Simulation tools are becoming an essential accessory for scientists and engineers for the development of new devices and study of physical phenomena. More and more disciplines rely on accurate simulation tools to get insight and also to accurately design novel devices. COMSOL is a powerful multiphysics simulation tool. It is used for a wide range of fields, including electromagnetics, semiconductors, thermodynamics and mechanics. In this P&S we will focus on the rapidly growing field of integrated photonics. During hands-on exercises, you will learn how to accurately model and simulate various optical devices, which enables high-speed optical communication. At the end of the course, students will gain practical experience in simulating photonic components by picking a small project in which certain photonic devices will be optimized to achieve required specifications. These simulated devices find applications in Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) on chip-scale. Course website: https://blogs.ethz.ch/ps_comsol | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Learning objective | Ultra Low Power Microcontroller (MCU) – Firmware Programming and Sensors Interfacing using Arm Cortex-M (STM32) Microcontrollers Microprocessors are used to execute extensive and generic applications. In contrast to that, microcontrollers (MCUs) are low-cost and low-power embedded chips with program memory and data memory built into the device. They are widely used to execute simple tasks within one specific application domain (i.e., sensor devices, wearable systems, and IoT devices). Microcontrollers demand precise and resource-saving programming. Therefore, it is necessary to know the processor architecture, relevant hardware peripherals (clocks, timers, interrupts, ADC, serial interfaces, etc.), and their implementation in the targeted device. The STM32 family from STMicroelectronics has gained popularity in the industry due to its large product portfolio, solid documentation, and ease of use. This course aims to develop a basic understanding of hard and software concepts for embedded systems and their application in real-world problems. A combination of theory (20%) and practical implementation (80%) should enable students to conduct high-level firmware programming for microcontrollers. Besides programming the MCU, this includes the interaction with analog and digital sensors, data management, on-device processing, and wireless data exchange. More advanced topics, such as hardware-accelerated digital signal processing (DSP), machine learning, and real-time operating systems, will be discussed as part of individual projects if needed. The main programming language will be C. The course will be taught in English. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Learning objective | FPGAs are used in wide range of applications including video processing, machine learning, cryptography and radar signal processing, thanks to their flexibility and massive parallel processing power. Recently FPGAs have become important in quantum signal processing where high amount of data should be analyzed in a short time to use quantum setups most efficiently. In addition, FPGAs are used for quantum state detection and feedback generation, which have to be performed in the scale of hundreds of nanoseconds. The goal of this course is to understand the FPGA based signal processing for superconducting circuits based quantum experiments. The course participants will learn the implementation techniques of the modules for fast quantum signal acquisition and processing, the electronics supporting quantum experiments, and FPGA programming. You will implement quantum signal processing and quantum state detection modules using Xilinx FPGA, Verilog HDL, and high speed ADC. The course will be taught in English. No prior knowledge in quantum physics or FPGA is required, still a good knowledge in any coding language (for example C or Java) is required. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
