04.10.2024 week 1 term 1

It's been quite a while since I updated my journal. This is my first week as a postgraduate at Warwick, and the module selection session has just finished. I’m excited by the fresh feeling of starting at a new school, but the pressure is setting in with the modules I’ve chosen.

What’s really giving me a headache is my limited vocabulary. I’m keen to focus on analog circuits, so I’ve selected modules that suit this, like Microwave Engineering and RF Circuits, where I’ll need to design an RF circuit. This is a great opportunity to enhance my knowledge.

I also chose ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated Circuits) and MEMS (Microelectromechanical Systems) modules. For these, I’ll be reading additional books, focusing on analog circuits and using Cadence Virtuoso to design integrator and differentiator amplifiers. I’m finding it all quite challenging. 🥲 But with great pressure comes great achievement. I hope I can manage my time well and succeed!!!
