Venue: Copthorne King's Hotel

Synopsis: 

The science of RF and microwave engineering relates to active and passive devices as used in the whole spectrum of microwave and RF engineering fields. The course is pitched at entry level and will cover most of the important topics an RF engineer should be aware of, such as component behaviour at RF, impedance matching, S-parameters, filters, amplifier and oscillator. 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.

Target Audience:

This course is designed for engineers 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.
