Description
The field of Radio Frequency and Microwave Engineering concerns the design and analysis of engineering systems for high frequencies, typically in the MHz and GHz range. Applications include cellular communications, high-speed digital and analog circuits, wireless networks, radar, television and radio.
This program covers all aspects of Radio Frequency Engineering, a subset of electrical engineering. It incorporates theory and practices to illustrate the role of RF into almost everything that transmits or receives a radio wave which includes: RF planning, and cellular networks such as GSM, CDMA, UMTS. HSPA+, LTE, LTE-Advanced, LTE-Advanced Pro, 5G, mmWave, Radar, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth/BLE/BT5.0, Zigbee, Satellite Communications, VSAT, two-way radio, Public Safety, testing and simulation.
RF and Microwave Engineering program will provide you with a solid understanding of RF surveys and planning, electromagnetic modeling and simulation, interference analysis and resolution, coverage analysis, propagation models, RF engineering, system specifications and performance, modulation, antenna theory, link design, traffic engineering, optimization, benchmarking, safety, RF testing, and system integration and measurements. Design and production engineers and technicians interested in improving RF engineering skills through a practical approach will benefit from this course.
What You'll Learn
With this program, you’ll have a clear understanding of Radio Frequency waves and know how to use a range of Radio frequency (RF) wireless and microwave measurement equipment; you will learn to configure Base Stations for Non Line of Site (NLOS) operations with Customer Premise Equipment (CPEs); you will learn to configure Radios for Point to Point communication, say between a branch office and its head office; you will learn to Design such Radio frequency networks, before implementation. At the end of the program, you would have covered the curriculum for the Certified Wireless Network Administrator, CWNA, and be qualified to become a Radio Frequency expert.
In addition, this Course presents the state-of-the-art in microwave radio communications. The course presents the basic theory, procedures, and techniques for microwave communication systems, Microwave Radio link planning and frequency management. Detailed mathematical analyses are minimized in order to concentrate on basic concepts, procedures, and optimal applications. Measured results are used to demonstrate each of the techniques discussed.
To produce quality results, the program requires an in-depth use of math, physics, general electronics theory as well as specialized modules in propagation and microstrip design.
Among Other Things You Will Learn:
- Understand fundamental characteristics of RF waves
- Define common RF and microwave terms such as dB and dBm
- Describe different types of transmission line and their properties
