Class Objectives
/Class Outline For measurement technology in the high-frequency (several GHz band), basic theory of RF technology is lectured and the advanced training on measurement using a spectrum analyzer and network analyzer are included. In addition, high-frequency circuit and electromagnetic field simulator of ADS (Advanced Design System) is introduced.
The lecture and experiments are offered in intensive course format. There may be a case in which participants number is limited by the circumstances of the training equipment.
