This project focuses on developing an E-learning platform as a learning hub for students. The topic that this E-learning platform will be focusing is on Maximum Power Transfer in RFIC. It means that maximum amount of power has to be transferred from the source to the load in Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit. This occurs if the load impedance is the complex conjugate of the total source impedance (eg: if the source impedance is (Rs+jXs) ohm, then, the load impedance must be (Rs-jXs) ohm. When the source and load impedance in RFIC are known, an impedance matching is required to be carried out to find a matching network to be added into the circuit. This connected matching network will eventually makes the load impedance equals to the complex conjugate of the source impedance in RFIC. This matching network consists of capacitor and inductor that is connected in L orientation (L-Network). This project focuses on teaching students on how to find the best orientation and value of capacitor and inductor to be connected in between the source and load impedance (impedance are known) in RFIC for maximum power transfer in the circuit. Apart from theory, the E-learning platform also provides different ways to interact with the students through online to enhance the learning experience.
