RF & Wireless Made Simple CD-ROM can teach a basic understanding
of RF and wireless technology in as little as 8 hours, or as long
as you want--and you can reference your CD-ROM whenever you need
a "refresher".
Frequently used terms will be explained, as well as how to calculate
dB. The names and functions of RF system components are discussed
and a description of how they interact to generate and process
signals is provided. The course explains the basic principles
of signal processing and multiple access techniques in wireless
telecommunications. A variety of relevant topics will be covered
including a comparison of the specifications of commercial wireless
systems. The course concludes with a discussion on the future
of wireless technology and its applications.
Learning Objectives
After completing the course, participants will be able to. . .
• Describe the integral relationship of the EM spectrum, basic
wave theory, and power calculations with RF and wireless technology.
• Define and elaborate on impedance, resistance, reactance,
and mismatch.
• List the names and functions of RF system components and
describe how they interact to generate and process signals.
• Explain the basic principles of signal processing.
• Identify and describe the basic principles of multiple access
techniques in wireless telecommunications.
• Explain the process underlying propagation of electromagnetic
waves.
• List and compare the specifications of commercial wireless
systems.
• Discuss the future of wireless technology and its applications.
