This course empowers learners to analyze, design, and evaluate RF and microwave systems using S-parameter techniques with some focus to 5G radio and microwave equipment. Through structured theory, interactive visualization, and practical tool-based sessions, participants will interpret the behavior of S-parameters, design impedance matching networks, and simulate wideband performance using professional-grade tools such as Smith Chart Online, Qorvo Match Calc, and CST Studio Suite. The course progressively develops competence from essential principles to advanced wideband considerations, ensuring a clear understanding of how reflection, transmission, stability, and gain metrics define real-world RF performance. This course is for RF engineers, electronics professionals, and advanced students who want to master S-parameters, matching networks, and wideband 5G/microwave system design, bridging theory with practical testing skills.
Learners should have a basic understanding of electrical engineering concepts such as impedance, reflection, and frequency response, along with familiarity with decibels, phase, and vectors. Comfort with technical software tools is also beneficial. By the end, learners will synthesize theory and simulation to confidently evaluate and optimize RF components and systems across a broad frequency range.
