A basic understanding of circuits and common electronic components is helpful before starting. Prior RF experience can make the material easier, but the course is designed to build practical simulation skills step by step.

The course centers on Keysight ADS, including ADS Momentum for electromagnetic simulation. Learners mainly work with S-parameter analysis and impedance-matching methods using transmission lines and Smith charts.

You practice setting up RF schematics, running DC, AC, and S-parameter simulations, modeling transmission lines, and designing matching networks. You also interpret Smith charts and simulation plots, then refine layouts with electromagnetic validation to check coupling, parasitics, and other high-frequency effects.

To access course materials, assignments, and earn a Certificate, you'll need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. Eligible learners may also have the option to start with a Free Trial. Some courses may also offer a Full Course, No Certificate option. This lets you access course materials, submit required assessments, and receive a final grade, but you won't be able to earn or purchase a Certificate.

When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
