Venue: Copthorne King's Hotel

Synopsis: 

This is a beginner-friendly 2-day course that truly assumes zero RF background. The course is aimed at providing a solid foundation to RF engineering and to enable the attendees to acquire an intuitive feeling for applications in their everyday work. This course starts from first principles, refreshing essential mathematics and circuit concepts, and builds a solid intuitive foundation in RF engineering. Participants progress step-by-step from AC behavior to transmission lines and finally gain hands-on confidence using the Smith Chart for impedance matching.

Target Audience:

This course is designed for persons who wish to acquire a basic working knowledge in RF systems. The course will be beneficial to people working in RF, microwave, radar, EMI/EMC and telecommunications. The course begins with a refresher of common circuits and then investigates what happens to their behaviour at RF frequencies. Matching is one of the most important topics and will be comprehensively explained with the use of the Smith Chart. At the conclusion of the course, the attendee should be able to understand the concepts and models used in RF systems and also be able to apply them to their engineering problems.
