Course Description
Radio frequency (RF) refers to the rate of oscillation of electromagnetic radio waves in the range of 3 kHz to 300 GHz, as well as the alternating currents carrying the radio signals. In simpler terms a radio wave is an electromagnetic wave propagated by an antenna which is used for communication.

More diagrams and graphs, with real time changes according to what is being discussed would help to make sense of the subject. This may just be my learning style though
By Lynnette M Patton on 6/12/2021
Moves a bit fast sometimes with some concepts that could use more visual re-enforcement. Even with a background in Electronic and Electrical concepts this would be helpful.
By Juan Cabrera on 2/7/2021
A good course but it would have been nice to have examples of how the various components are typically used and not just how what they do.
By Muthu krishnan on 11/21/2020
thankyou so much i have successfully completed the course it was seriously awesome!! fantastic!!!
By Johan vR on 8/11/2020
Interesting all the various components. Would have liked more "system" related information, i.e. how a system is put together using parts (i.e. RF transmitter made from VCO & SAW filter). Would also like some more information on antenna characteristics like VSWR. Maybe these are more advanced subjects.

Like others have stated, the instructor just reads from the slides. Once they are off script and trying to describe a slide that doesn't have words, they fumble around, showing us they have no knowledge of the subject.
By Anas Abidi on 3/17/2020
Reading slides on a screen can’t be named a course. I was expecting a comprehensive course including basic explanation of the radio frequency communication. Unfortunately, it’s just someone reading text from slides no explanation no interaction whatsoever.
By Anton Prokhorov on 2/9/2020
Absolutely doesn't cost it's money, lecturer just reads from the slides + this is only 2 hours - I will not recommend to get this course even with some discount
By Atif Ali channa on 11/21/2019
It was a wonderful learning from this course, it made my skills more advanced iam very thankful to all of you making me professional engineer. thankyou
By Guilherme Theis on 10/16/2019
There is a good chunk of information for complete beginners in RF in this course, relatively well summarized. However, it lacks interaction. It seems that one could learn exactly the same by simply looking at the slides and reading. I was able to learn some pieces I was lacking even having some experience with RF. One recommendation would be insert the most common type of circuit for some of the components mentionned. i.e: phase shifters are required for 5G, maybe show the internal circuit of the most common analog and digital phase shifters.
