The U3851A RF Microwave circuit design, simulation and measurement courseware is a core component of Keysight’s RF Microwave Teaching Solution. The courseware includes a modular prototype kit that utilizes a 1.8-GHz receiver module, editable lab sheets and problem-based assignments which cover 50 hours’ worth of lab sessions. Through the U3851A courseware, students learn how to design an RF product end-to-end, from specification and simulation, to prototype building and validation. Students will develop practical skills in using industry-standard test and measurement instruments such as the oscilloscopes, network analyzers, signal generators and spectrum analyzers. They will also learn how to design an RF receiver with 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 establishes a solid foundation in RF microwave fundamentals, paving the way for the students’ specialization in advanced 5G or IoT wireless applications. Such practical skills and real-world application knowledge gained through the courseware will make the students industry-ready and highly sought-after.
The Training Kit consists of the modular prototype kit, kit controller, RF adapters and splitter, cables (RF, power, LAN, BNC), power adapter and carry case.
Target university subject: RF and microwave design, Target year of study: 3rd year and final year undergraduates, Prerequisites: Basic circuits, signals and systems, analog electronics and electromagnetics
X-Series Features:
Measure any modulated signal with the Keysight’s X-Series wide dynamic range power sensors. This sensor offers very accurate and repeatable power measurements for any modulated signal and comes with super-fast measurement speed which enables higher manufacturing throughput. X-Series is supported by the Keysight BenchVue software. BenchVue allows control of the power meter to log data and visualize measurements in a wide array of display options without any programming. It’s easy to connect, control instruments, and automate test sequences.
