What Is Radio Frequency Engineering?

Radio frequency engineers are specialists within the electrical engineering field. They work with devices that transmit or receive radio waves, includingwireless equipment, radios, and cellular phones. A background in general electronics, physics, and math is needed to design and improve wireless networks.



In a descriptive form Radio‐frequency (RF) engineering is about systems that operate at radio frequencies such as microwave frequencies. This chapter begins with a look at the RF subsystem of a typical radio. This gives us a good view of how amplifiers, filters, mixers, and so on, may be organized in a typical RF subsystem. The chapter then elaborates on the “handle with care” aspects of RF and how it differs from low‐frequency circuits. It introduces some mathematical preliminaries, such as how we model RF subsystems and how we perform analysis on nonlinear effects. The chapter then tackles the problem of noise. Besides noise, it considers another characteristic of RF engineering that is dealing with nonlinearities. The chapter discusses important parts of RF systems, such as mixers, oscillators, and amplifiers, and then presents a brief discussion at some other RF components.

Radio Frequency Engineer



A Radio Frequency Engineer, also known as an RF Engineer, is an electrical engineer who specializes in devices that receive or transmit radio waves. All of our wireless and mobile devices operate on radio waves, so our tech-centered society would not be possible without the work of RF Engineers. These Engineers often work in a collaborative environment both with other RF Engineers and stakeholders in other disciplines.
A RF Engineer is a skilled position that requires both a Bachelor’s degree and completion of a state licensure exam. State Licensure is required for an aspiring RF Engineer because so many positions are with public telecommunications companies. Other possible employers include the military or a radio broadcast stations. There also are a limited number of research positions available in academia.

What Is Analogue Electronics ?

The world of electronics is all about electrical circuits, electronic components, and interconnected technologies. All these elements can be primarily  categorized  as digital, analog, or a combination of both. However, here we will be focusing on the basics of the analog category in detail.  Analog electronics  are  electronic  systems with a continuously variable signal, in contrast to digital  electronics  where signals usually take only two levels. Analog electronics  is a branch of electronics that deals with a continuously variable signal. It’s widely used in radio and audio equipment along with other applications where signals are derived from analog sensors before being converted into digital signals for subsequent storage and processing.  What is Analog ? Analog means continuous and real. The world we live in is analog in nature, implying that it’s full of infinite possibilities. The number of smells we can sense, the number of tones we can hear, o

E. C. George Sudarshan In A Tryst With Physics

E.C.G. Sudarshan T he physicist Hans Bethe once said, “There are two types of genius. Ordinary geniuses do great things, but they leave you room to believe that you could do the same if only you worked hard enough. Then there are magicians, and you can have no idea how they do it.” In the world of science, every so often we come across visionaries, ‘magicians’ in the words of Bethe, who dare to perceive the world in ways no one else has before. E.C. George Sudarshan is one of them.  Born in Kottayam in 1931,   Ennackal Chandy George Sudarsan   studied at the CMS College and later at the Madras Christian College, the University of Madras and the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research. ECG (Ennackal Chandy George) Sudarsan had been nominated nine times for Nobel Prize in physics. Sudarsan rewrote Albert Einstein's theory through the discovery of Tachyon particles in quantum optics. Famous scientist Vaidyanath Misra was also with Sudarsan in his efforts that led t

What Is An Amplifier?

An amplifier is an electronic device that increases the voltage, current, or power of a signal. Amplifiers are used in wireless communications and broadcasting, and in audio equipment of all kinds.  Or Amplifier is device which increase the strength of signal. An amplifier, electronic amplifier or (informally) amp is an electronic device that can increase the power of a signal. An amplifier functions by taking power from a power supply and controlling the output to match the input signal shape but with a larger amplitude. In this sense, an amplifier modulates the output of the power supply based upon the properties of the input signal. An amplifier is effectively the opposite of an attenuator: while an amplifier provides gain, an attenuator provides loss. Amplifier is made up of transistors. before invention of the transistor vacuum tubes were used in amplifier. Classification of Amplifiers 1-Type of Signal a. Small Signal i. voltage amplifier b.
