Course Code:
AHPC2251
Course Aims:
The aim of the course is to provide Engineers with the basics of RF theory. The course is intended to form the foundation for further practical and equipment specific training.
Course Description:
This CBT package is intended to provide ab initio engineers with the basics of RF theory and practice.
Training Objectives:
On completion of the course, and with the aid of relevant documentation, the delegate will be able to:
- Differentiate between Inductive and Capacitive impedance.
- Draw simple circuits illustrating Parallel and Series resonance, and explain associated terms, such as bandwidth, selectivity, half-power points etc.
- Define the terms decibel (dB), PD, and EMF.
- Describe the principles and applications of commonly used modulation techniques, specifically AM (and it's derivatives), FM, PM, and the various forms of Pulse modulation.
- Demonstrate an appreciation of wavelength, field strength and propagation.
- Identify the characteristics of commonly used aerials.
- Explain the differences between the various forms of transmission line, and briefly explain the following: standing waves, matching, balun, waveguide, and cavity resonator.
- Demonstrate an understanding of transmitter principles, with the aid of diagrams where appropriate.
- Using block diagrams, show an understanding of basic receiver principles; recognising the different receiver types and explaining the terms: superhet, double superhet, image frequency, intermediate frequency and detector.
- Identify the important parameters of both receivers and transmitters, and the methods and test equipment used to verify acceptable performance.
Course Pre-requisites:
None, although a basic knowledge of electronic engineering principles is assumed.
