RF and wireless systems are one of the key enabling technology for next-generation intelligent transportation systems (ITS), ranging from Vehicle to infrastructure (V2X) communication systems to Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and satellite navigation systems. The RF/Microwave electronics industry is evolving rapidly to meet the requirements of a variety of applications leading to robust ITS. The electronics industries, as they evolve in this sector, while adapting from previous generation digital electronics to advanced RF electronics, are having needs to equip their engineers with fundamental principles of RF and microwave engineering.
This intermediate-level course aims to make this transition of the practising engineers, by exposing them to the concepts in RF engineering essential for design, fabrication, system integration and testing of RF systems. The course introduces the fundamentals, enforcing basic knowledge necessary for understanding operation and design principles in a typical RF system. Distributed effects in a transmission line and transition from tradition voltage and current waves to power-waves in the form of Scattering parameters will be introduced. Techniques for Impedance Matching and visualizing using Smith Chart will be covered. Transmission line types and effects critical for PCB design especially for high-frequency operation will be covered. Finally, essential topics on antennas, their radiation characteristics and related propagation effects will be covered. The course will cover relevant examples using appropriate design and simulation tools where applicable.
To aid companies in transforming their capabilities through their human capital, and support Singapore’s drive towards becoming a Smart Nation, this course is mapped to the Singapore Economic Development Board’s Singapore Smart Industry Readiness Index:
Dimension 7 - Shop Floor Connectivity
Dimension 8 - Enterprise Connectivity
Dimension 9 - Facility Connectivity
