2 1. Training Course Overview, RF12 Note Product name Level Duration This course is a combination of its predecessors RF1 and RF2 courses Introduction to High Frequency Measurement Technology (RF12) Introductory 3 days Max. number of participants 12 Learning methods Target group Expected preliminary knowledge and/or skills Course objectives Lectures, practical exercises (mixed with theory) People working with high frequency measurement technology in production, testing, test planning, and product development. Course is also suitable for all the people who have to know the basics of RF technology. At least good knowledge of electronics is desired and basic knowledge or experience of high frequency technology is also preferred. After this course the participant will be able to - list all the most important variables used in RF measurements - describe the key factors influencing RF power transmission (reflection, mismatch and transmission) - list the key components used in measuring technology - describe the principles of frequency measurements - outline the operating principle and purpose of a spectrum analyser - perform basic measurements with a spectrum analyser - describe the principles and practices of analog and digital modulations - describe the effect of noise in RF communications systems - perform basic modulation and noise figure measurements with a spectrum analyser - outline the significance of network analysis in RF meas. technology - outline operating principle of a network analyser - list calibration of and measurement procedure with a network analyzer
