In today’s environment of limited budgets for travel, our web classroom courses are more popular than ever. Enjoy the benefits of a live, interactive course without leaving your workplace!

This course provides circuit-level designers with the essential concepts needed to work effectively with high frequency electronics. Participants gain analytical, graphical, and computer-aided techniques to analyze and optimize RF circuits in practical situations. The course addresses linear active circuit design, focusing on stability, bandwidth, and noise considerations.

Learning Objectives:

Upon completing the course, the participant will be able to:

• Describe RF circuit parameters and terminology.

• State the effects of parasitics on circuit performance at RF.

• Use graphical design techniques and the Smith Chart.

• Match impedances and perform transformations.

• Predict RF circuit stability and stabilize circuits.

• Design small signal and low noise RF amplifiers.

Target Audience:

Professionals required to work in high frequency domains for the first time, as well as seasoned veterans, will benefit from this comprehensive overview of practical design techniques. An electrical engineering background (or equivalent practical experience) is recommended, as well as a familiarity with complex numbers.

The course is taught on-line using our Web classroom format: simply log-in to the 90 minute live conference each dayright from your workplace. The instructor’s audio and presentation are delivered over the computer screen and speakers. Students can ask questions at any time via the chat window – or between sessions via email. Course notes are provided electronically in pdf format. When the session is over, return to your normal work schedule without missing a beat!
