What you’ll learn
-
This is a very basic fundamentals of RF, The main purpose of this course is to simply without providing any formulas or engineering skills provide the basic knowledge and topics needed in the RF field. At the end of this course you would have a general idea of Radio Frequency and related topics and components used day to day on this topic. This course briefly explains the topics without getting deep into each discussion just to have the student get a general idea.
-
The student can then choose to go toward the RF Certificate provided by Rahsoft which in there we would be going deep into the topics by providing hand on design and examples from the industry. At the end of the certificate the student would have a complete knowledge of RF as well as some actual simulations such as Power Amplified Design to add to his resume. Again this would be for a person who would be taking all 15 courses which starts with this course as the first one.
Rahsoft RF Certificate Program Available courses are as below:

Welcome to the first course of the RF certificate series. In this topic
we are going to explain the basic concepts of RF design in a simplest way
possible. The audience for the RF basic course are electrical engineers,
technicians, sales engineers and other employees of an RF-related company who
want to have general idea of RF basic concepts. At the end of this course
you will have a general knowledge of the fundamental topics discussed in RF
industry. This is a great crash course for people who have interviews and need to
a refresher on the RF topic within a few hours and go from zero knowledge to
having a general understanding of most topics.
One of the most important things for us to have the most updated materials
needed in the industry. Ahsan Ghoncheh, our Co-Founder and Technical
Adviser, consults with different RF engineers at Broadcomm, Qualcomm,
Apple and Skyworks on building practical curriculum and topics that are needed
and in demand in the industry. So instead of going the academic
approach, we are going to an industry approach.
I want to thank you for choosing Rahsoft and trusting
us. Please feel free to contact us. We are truly excited and
grateful to be going with you on this journey to becoming an RF
expert. If you have any further questions, do not hesitate to contact us.

Syed-Mohammad Raza –
Good intro, would like to see more math problems, and make the course longer and include more material. I’ve taken many courses but this is my first course from Rahsoft, not disappointed but would like to see more
Jean-Francois Vouaux –
Yes , It was a good match with what I was expected.
The very bad point I can make is that the “closed captioning” which translate the voice to too often mistakes. The transcript is then unreadable
Alex W –
Good review on circuit design concepts and RF components. Prior exposure to Calculus II concepts (e.g. integration) is helpful in understanding foundational concepts. If brand new to this field, start with signals and systems and basic circuit design courses first.
Rodrigo Cervetto –
It was a nice introduction to all the stages involved in a RF communications system, great starting point!
Ally Ferguson –
Generally a very good overview and introduction.
Stephen McAlonan –
Good overview, wish it went a little deeper on some topics
Dylan Brophy –
I knew it would have a lot of things that I already know, but I wanted to take it anyway because I wanted to fill in any gaps before I take a more intermediate course. There’s tons of useful information here – very glad I got this 🙂
Sandeep Singh Bhadoria –
Content was good
Megan Burkitt –
Some of the videos wouldn’t work which was very frustrating.
Jens –
Pretty basic course, but still often explanations are difficult to understand
Christopher Blake –
Not sure yet, I am working with RF cable assemblies, This is useful but not sure how it all fits together.
Pattern Otieno Odhiambo –
Excellent foundational coverage
