At GHz frequencies, wires stop being wires and PCB traces become transmission lines, so circuit design becomes a game of impedances, reflections, and S-parameters rather than nodal voltages. You'll spend the semester designing and simulating RF amplifiers in CAD tools (ADS, Diptrace) — matching networks on Smith charts, chasing stability and noise figure circles, laying out microstrips — and characterizing real boards with lab instruments. It builds directly on your electromagnetics and analog electronics background and is the gateway course for anyone heading into RF/wireless, radar, or antenna work.
