Based on Les Besser's famous RF course material, this program has been reworked and updated to meet the needs of today's engineers looking for online self-paced study. Video lectures are followed by our exclusive online workbooks featuring interactive problem sets and quizzes along with optional supplemental reading for those who wish to explore topics in more depth. This course is the first part of an RF Engineering Certificate program currently under development by Besser Associates.
A helpful article from In-Compliance magazine describing the practical implications of skin effect on product design, particularly sheilding.
Understanding skin effect and surface currents saves us a lot of time and cost in the design of our product’s shielding and filtering, especially for tough EMC standards such as automotive, military or aerospace. It also helps us to more quickly achieve many other issues in cost-effective EMC design.

Tutorials page from the IEEE Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics and Frequency Control society website. The page lists several free tutorials that are available to download on topics such as low noise oscillators, phase noise, and crystal resonators.
These courses focus on CDMA/OFDM fundamentals as well as the techniques that have been incorporated into 5G/4G LTE/Advanced specifications. Topics covered include 5G Wireless Networks, mm-Wave Antennas, Smartphone Architecture, and more.
In this practical tip from InCompliance magazine, instructor Arturo Mediano discusses the importance of using the actual load of your device rather than substituting and equivalent resistor when testing for EMI.
In this article for InCompliance magazine, instructor Arturo Mediano discusses how using higher quality components with low parasitics can actually cause problems in your system by ringing.
