        Discover more about Radio Frequency Electronics and
        EMC!

               Now available: a specialized course of receiver design and design support!
           Also available: a specialized EMC seminar!

               Requirement for the participants: Basic knowledge of Analog and Digital Electronics, basic
               knowledge of PCB design and lay-outs, up to pre-university level or Bachelor's level.

               This seminar (RF Electronics) can be organized at your site for your engineers in the English and
               in the Dutch language. It can also be combined with an EMC seminar, at reduced costs for both
               seminars when given at two succeeding days. Reduced fares are available for extra participants
               following the seminar(s) at the same time and location.

               Also, reduced fares are available for consults, related to your individual needs, when combined
               with the seminars given at your location.


               What do you learn when you are a participant of the seminar(s)?

               2.   Basic principles of a Radio connection, Link budget, Carrier to noise and signal to noise ratio.
               3.   Basic principles of Radio transmitters and receivers; types of modulation, selectivity, gain
                     distribution, susceptibility for in-channel and out-of-channel interference, intermodulation,
                     crossmodulation, intercept points, intermodulation free dynamic range, distortion, THD.
               4.   Practical applications of Radio circuits for various frequency ranges. for broadcast and point-to-
                     point wireless systems.
               5.   Unwanted responses of Radio receiver circuits, spurious, harmonic mixing, image responses,
                     whistles (birdies) and how to solve these problems.
               6.   Filter design, lowpass to highpass and bandpass transform, impedance transform,
                     applications for the Norton transform, wye-delta transform, absorbing reactances in Norton
                     transform, transform of coupled inductors into a star circuit of non-coupled inductors,
                     calculation of filter transfer characteristics as a function of source and load impedance.
               7.   How to design impedance matching networks with discrete components.
               8.   Low noise design of receiver input circuits, voltage noise and current noise, optimum source
                     impedance, noise figure of cascaded circuits.


               About EMC:

               1.   Basic principles of EMC problems, types of interfering sources, coupling paths and susceptible
                     devices.
               2.   Basic principles of electromagnetic fields, Extended Kirchhoff's laws, further explanation about
                     the duality between electricity and magnetism.
               3.   Further explanations about the impedance of electromagnetic fields and the effect on solving
                     EMI (electromagnetic interference) problems.
               4.   Practical solutions for EMI problems at PCB level, subsystem level and system level.
               5.   Practical recommendations about grounding and shielding of EMC (sub)systems and devices.
               6.   Practical recommendations for using filters in EMC (sub)systems and devices, safety
                     requirements.
               7.   Practical recommendations about PCB lay-outs for EMC (sub)systems.
               8.   Further explanation about the EMC requirements by the law and by the customer / end-user.
               9.   How to protect your company against claims by the end-user of your products.
               10. How to advise your end-user for using your product in a EMC unfriendly environment.
               11. How to realize pre-compliance tests prior to the compliance tests carried out by a test house.
               12. How to realize the maximum possible saving of the production- and pre- and after-sales cost
                     concerning EMC.


              What are the special benefits of this offer?

              1.    No expensive external locations, but at your (cost saving) own company site.
              2.    No time-consuming travelling necessary for your own employees.
              3.    Our low overhead costs result in a very attractive course fee, especially when
                     combined with consultancy hours at your site according to your individual needs.
              4.    You will receive a very high qualified seminar for a fraction of the price of a seminar
                     of equal value.
              5.    You can participate in a affiliate program which allows you to earn your money back.
                     For each new customer, you will receive 10% of his additional fees when this customer applies
                     to one or more of our seminars, not more than 6 months after your seminar, following your
                     recommendation.
