Satway: an assignment to introduce high frequency circuit design to undergraduates

Students can gain practical experience of the problems which arise with high frequency/RF design by using Satway, an exercise in analogue circuit design. The Satway exercise involves designing and building a circuit that allows a standard laboratory oscilloscope to display a standard 625-line television picture. To add interest to the exercise the signals used are received from the satellites currently transmitting television pictures to the UK and Europe.
