There has been an explosive proliferation in the use of radio frequency technology for a variety of applications in recent years. This is largely driven by the advances in microelectronics, semiconductor technology, and RFICs.
Explosive growth in application areas such as wireless communications, moving beyond human connectivity to the connectivity of machines, sensors, and devices, has been fueled by the advances in RF technology. This course has a mix of both theoretical and application-specific topics with hands-on learning and demonstrations. To provide experiential learning opportunities for participants, there will be demonstrations on the application areas of a wireless communication system using a Software Defined Radio (SDR) platform and a radar system using a mmWave radar sensor platform.
This course is designed to go in-depth into the theory behind the functional blocks as well as the application aspects. Participants will also be able to deepen their knowledge and understanding of designing and troubleshooting various high-frequency electronic system applications.
