From Smith Charts to Antennas: Exploring RF Systems Hands on!
Published:
I had the opportunity to dive deep into the world of Radio Frequency (RF) Engineering through a comprehensive lab course. The lab gave me hands-on experience working with RF components, transmission lines, S-parameters, and antennas—all supported by industry-standard measurement tools like vector network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, function generators, and oscilloscopes. From coaxial lines to horn antennas, I analyzed how energy behaves at high frequencies—bridging the gap between theoretical electromagnetic systems and real-world RF circuits.
