ATE-02 Practical Guide to RF Measurement

This course trains participants in RF measurement using instruments like spectrum analysers, network analysers, and power metres. It covers test parameters, calibration methods, and standard practices, with 30% theory and 70% hands-on practice, aiming to boost confidence and competency in troubleshooting.

Learning Outcome

• Able to understand the difference between spectrum analysis and network analysis 
• Able to articulate main measurement parameters by spectrum analyser and network analyser, and the function of each parameter towards RF components characterisation 
• Able to operate spectrum analyser and network analyser with confidence
• Able to make sense and explain measurement results collected from RF measurement instruments

Methodology

The course will be conducted in two major ways: lecture on the theory part, while hands-on on the practical part. Classroom discussions will be carried out throughout the entire course.

Pre-requisite

Participants are required to have basic understanding in electronics. Understanding of RF theory will be helping participants to better appreciate the course content but is optional. Hands-on experience in dealing with spectrum analyser, network analyser and power metre prior to this class is optional but will definitely help student’s engagement with the syllabus.

Duration

2 Days

Target Group (who should attend)

Validation and test engineers, technicians and RF circuit designers.
