Abstract

RF Boot Camp is designed to grow RFMW skills in an educational forum that is focused on the fundamentals of Microwave Theory and Techniques. We focus on teaching the fundamentals, terminology, and applications of RF and microwave design, simulation, and measurement – for those new to RFMW, those wishing to stay current with new technologies and applications or even for booth staff members who would like to understand a little more about microwave technology and terminology.
This course will provide an introduction to RF basics, targeting newcomers to the microwave industry. The intended audience includes technicians, new engineers, engineers who may be changing their career path, marketing and sales professionals seeking a better understanding of microwave technology, as well as current college students looking to learn more about the practical aspects of RF and Microwave technology. The format of the RF Boot Camp is similar to that of a workshop or short course, with multiple presenters from industry and academia presenting on a variety of topics including: RF/Microwave systems basics, network and spectrum analysis, simulation and matching network design modulation and signal analysis, antennas and radar basics.
