Diamond 40RF and Baseband Applications - COURSE #0940

Course Length

5 Days

Applicable Testers

Diamond Series

Course Description

The purpose of this course is to introduce the student to the test system, RF hardware, and software. This is achieved through a combination of lectures and lab exercises. Upon completion of the course, the student is able to: program basic functions of the RF subsystem (MVNA), run the calibration routine, and understand six functions of the measurement suite. This course requires the information learned in the Diamond Series Digital Applications Training - COURSE #0900.

The course covers some of the basic theory of radio frequency (RF) device testing, and includes hands-on lab exercises.

Prerequisites

6 months RF specific test experience
