Course Overview
Do you need to quickly get up-to-speed with modern RF and microwave communications without having to search through endless online content, magazine articles and dry academic textbooks that all too often obscure the essence of the subject with complex mathematics?
This online RF and microwave communications diploma course brings together essential communications topics in one place and has been designed to provide you with a solid grounding in the principles and practice of modern RF, wireless and microwave communications engineering. Throughout the course, important concepts are simplified and explained in a way that conveys the essence of each topic without resorting to complex mathematics.
Developed by PhD-qualified RF engineers with over 50 years combined industry experience, the course focuses on the essential real-world knowledge needed to develop your successful career in the fast-paced and rapidly changing world of RF, wireless and microwave engineering.
Successfully completing all modules and quizzes results in the award of a high-quality IEEE Certificate of Completion (PDF) to demonstrate your achievement.
The course is based on a series of instructor-led classroom courses delivered in partnership with leading global test equipment manufacturer Rohde & Schwarz. Technical content has been continuously refined based on attendee feedback.
