Course Overview
This 2-day course introduces modern RF and wireless communications systems and provides a solid grounding in the technical concepts of the subject. A straightforward and easy to understand approach is adopted, emphasising the practical aspects of RF and wireless communications components and systems. Complex theory and mathematics is avoided whenever possible.
Who Will Benefit?
This technical course is aimed at engineers, technicians and managers working in the RF and wireless communications industry. It is especially suited to new entrants to the field, with little or no previous RF and wireless experience. Sales and marketing and other non-technical personnel involved with RF and wireless products and services will also benefit from the course.
