Common learning outcomes
International outlook and global responsibility

Each year the course implementation has a special, focused "theme", i.e., some practical system or application. The course teaches key concepts with a direct connection to the practical application. The theme may change from year to year, or, it may stay the same for several years. In 2019 the theme was "Wireless microphone receiver front-end". The course contents, however, do not change much from year to year since the very key concepts are common in all RF applications.
