The U3851A HF Microwave Circuit Design, Simulation, and Measurement Learning Software is a core component of Keysight's RF Microwave Teaching Solution. The courseware includes a modular prototype kit that includes a 1.8 GHz receiver module, editable labsheets, and problem-based assignments that cover 50 hours of lab sessions. With the help of the U3851A course materials, students learn how to consistently design an RF product from specification and simulation to prototype construction and validation. The students acquire practical knowledge in dealing with test and measurement instruments customary in the industry such as oscilloscopes, network analyzers, signal generators and spectrum analyzers. You'll also learn how to design an RF receiver using Keysight's industry-leading Electronic Design and Automation (EDA) software, including PathWave Advanced Design System (ADS) and PathWave System Design (SystemVue).
The Keysight RF Microwave Teaching Solution provides very good knowledge of the HF Microwave basics and paves the way for students to specialize in advanced 5G or IoT wireless applications. These practical skills and application knowledge acquired through the course materials make the students industry-ready and highly sought-after.
The training kit consists of the modular prototype kit, the kit controller, the RF adapters and splitter, the cables (RF, power supply, LAN, BNC), the power supply unit and the carrying case.
