Learn to design, analyze, deploy, optimize, and troubleshoot modern wireless communication systems — from antennas and RF circuits to cellular, satellite, Wi-Fi, and IoT networks.
19 modules and 5 complete real-project design packages, with worked link budgets, drawings, field documentation, and a certificate of completion.
Electromagnetic waves, frequency, wavelength, polarization, bandwidth, spectrum, signal propagation, and decibels — visually and with practical examples.
RF power, impedance, reflection, standing waves, VSWR, return loss, matching networks, and transmission lines — why they matter in real systems.
The program’s hallmark module — 17 concept pairs from frequency vs. bandwidth to free-space path loss, each explained with real engineering depth.
Dipoles, Yagis, patch, parabolic, phased arrays, and MIMO — radiation patterns, polarization, gain, beamwidth, and selection.
Coax, waveguides, connectors, filters, duplexers, combiners, splitters, attenuators, amplifiers, and LNAs.
AM, FM, PSK, QAM, OFDM, spread spectrum, error correction, and multiplexing — why a system picks one scheme over another.
Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, LoRaWAN, NFC, RFID, and UWB — strengths, limitations, and when to choose each.
LTE and 5G architecture, base stations, small cells, massive MIMO, beamforming, and core networks.
Point-to-point microwave links, satellite orbits, VSAT, link design, rain fade, and earth stations.
Link budgets, coverage prediction, frequency planning, interference analysis, and equipment selection — with worked examples.
WLAN design, enterprise Wi-Fi, mesh networks, roaming, QoS, security, and wireless controllers.
Spectrum analyzers, VNAs, oscilloscopes, signal generators, and power/VSWR meters — interpreting real measurements.
WPA3, authentication, encryption, secure IoT, jamming awareness, spoofing, and network hardening.
RF block diagrams, antenna layouts, tower drawings, coverage maps, and frequency plans — how to read and produce them.
Real diagnostic scenarios — weak signal, high VSWR, interference, multipath, and coverage gaps — symptoms to resolution.
A multi-floor office deployment — site survey, AP placement, channel planning, roaming/QoS, and WPA3-Enterprise security.
A multi-band LTE/5G macro site — equipment selection, a worked link budget, backhaul, and power/battery backup.
A point-to-point link — a worked path profile and link budget, frequency coordination, and rain fade availability analysis.
A municipal LoRaWAN deployment — network architecture, gateway coverage design, and end-device battery life engineering.
A factory floor network — RF in a metal-heavy environment, redundant APs, PLC connectivity, and OT/IT segmentation.
Wireless standards, licensing and spectrum management, site documentation, and acceptance testing.
A downloadable kit of 12 real project templates, from link budget worksheets to commissioning checklists.
A final design assignment, drawing-interpretation and troubleshooting exercises, a grading rubric, and your certificate of completion.
12 real project templates — link budget and coverage prediction worksheets, a frequency plan template, site survey and antenna installation checklists, an RF interference troubleshooting checklist, an equipment schedule, a cable/fiber routing schedule, acceptance testing and commissioning checklists, an RFI template, and a punch list template. Available for download from Module 18 (Documentation & Resource Kit) once you've unlocked the program.
Coming later: coverage map examples and video demonstrations. Not included in this release.
