The Hands-on Learning for Radio Frequency Spectrum Innovation courses introduce fundamental concepts and recent developments related to efficient, effective use of the radio frequency (RF) spectrum in complex RF environments.
Participants explore concepts in depth through interactive simulations to apply and extend knowledge gained through lectures and diverse supplemental learning resources.
Course Resources
- Interactive simulations in which you control radio links manually or through AI/ML code
- Video demonstrations using software defined radio software and testbeds
- Practice quizzes to help ensure readiness for the final quizzes
- Narrated slide presentations with closed captioning and downloadable handouts
- Supplemental text notes within many modules of the courses
- Links to selected external videos, simulations, and documents
