This course is designed to help you understand various practical concepts, such as transceiver system concepts, key characteristic parameters, and PCB layout. Taking this alongside "Understanding RF Circuit Design for Engineers [Basic]" will further enhance your understanding of RF circuits.


Understand the concepts, structures, operating principles, and performance metrics of wireless communication systems by minimizing difficult theories and formulas.
Understand wireless circuit PCB layout guides to provide practical help in real-world applications.
Learn up to PCB layout and grow into a practical RF system engineer.
Elevate your RF system design capabilities to the next level through the practical know-how of active field engineers.
This course is a systematically organized program that combines practical know-how and theoretical knowledge gained from approximately 15 years of hardware technology training since 2012. It has been delivered to major corporations (Samsung Electronics, Samsung Electro-Mechanics, LG Electronics, Hyundai Mobis, Hyundai Autron, Hyundai Motor Company), small and medium-sized enterprises, and public institutions (Korea Radio Promotion Association, Korea Testing Laboratory, Gyeonggido Business & Science Accelerator). We have developed this course to be easily understood without the use of complex formulas, and we are opening it to you to share unique lectures that cannot be heard anywhere else.
You will gain a clear understanding of the core concepts of RF systems.
You will be able to easily grasp the overall structure of complex transceiver systems and the meaning of each parameter. By systematically understanding why specific setting values are necessary and how each element affects the entire system, you will be able to clearly analyze RF design challenges encountered in practice.
You will be equipped with PCB layout design guidelines that can be applied immediately in practice.
You will learn specific precautions for PCB layout that were difficult to grasp through theory alone. By acquiring practical design tips for optimal performance, you can contribute to reducing design errors and enhancing the overall quality of the product.
Build confidence in RF circuit design and improve problem-solving skills.
Through a curriculum that bridges theory and practice, you will develop the ability to independently find solutions to various problems that arise during RF system design. As a professional in the field, you will deepen your understanding of RF systems and grow into an expert who contributes more proactively to projects.
