RF, Microwave, and Wireless Engineering – Course Overview
Spanning 48 academic hours, this course will be facilitated through a hybrid approach, combining both distance and in-person learning. It comprises ten remote sessions, each lasting 4 hours, and a face-to-face 8-hour session hosted at Rohde & Schwarz Israel.
This in-depth course offers a rich curriculum (refer to the course syllabus for details). Taught by esteemed industry and academic technical experts boasting years of experience in the field (see the Lecturers section for more), the course ensures a comprehensive understanding of both foundational and advanced topics in RF, Microwave, and Wireless Communications engineering.
The curriculum starts with a foundational understanding of essential RF concepts like Noise, Non-Linearity, Sensitivity, Dynamic Range, Transmission Lines, S-parameters, and Impedance Matching, among others. This is followed by an exploration of basic RF building blocks (like Mixers, Oscillators, Filters) and how they integrate into complete RF systems.
Detailed insights into Transmitter and Receiver architectures, including Superheterodyne and Direct Conversion techniques, In-Phase and Quadrature (I-Q) Modulation/Demodulation, Software Defined Radio, and considerations for RFIC transceiver design, are then discussed. The course also delves into Advanced Digital Modulations, Multiple Access methods, and a comprehensive examination of tools such as Spectrum Analyzers and Vector Network Analyzers.
Further, attendees will learn about Electromagnetic Waves, the propagation of these waves, various Antenna types, ranging from simple Dipoles to sophisticated Antenna Arrays. The course culminates in a session dedicated to defining and understanding the terms and methods employed to assess RF components, RF modules, and the overall system performance. Practical demonstrations using state-of-the-art RF testing and measurement equipment further enhance the learning experience.
