RF Wireless Fundamentals


This course is primarily for the Engineer who would like to better understand the operation of the various wireless (radio) concepts. This course assumes the student already has a basic background in electronics and electronic circuits.

At the completion of the course, the student will have a basic understanding of receiver techniques, various receiver architectures, transmitters, transmitter architectures, AM, FM, SSB, I-Q modulation, frequency synthesis, TDMA, CDMA and related topics.

We offer this and all courses as On Site Training
