Course Summary:
This two-day course provides engineering professionals an introduction to the field of RF and Microwave engineering from an industry perspective. Participants will learn fundamental concepts on RF engineering as well as practical design and measurement techniques. Designs on commercial products will also be presented to the participants to gain practical knowledge.
Audience:
Engineering professionals required to work in the radio frequency or microwave domains for the first time. Designers with some RF exposure but little formal training who wish to broaden their design skill. DSP or Baseband designers who need to be aware of RF and Microwave issues.
Benefits:
Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:
1. understand RF and Microwave design theories including Smith chart , transmission line and Scattering parameters.
2. understand impedance matching and frequency selection, design of RF amplifier and network analyzer aided RF circuit design from a practical and industrial perspective
3. understand critical RF and Microwave measurement techniques
4. learn from practical case studies on commercial RF products
