ME1010 RF CIRCUIT DESIGN (KEYSIGHT GENESYS)
The ME1010 serves as a ready-to-teach package on RF circuits design in the areas of RF and wireless communications. This is a lecturer resource consisting of teaching slides, lab sheets with model answers, and problem-based assignments. The lab exercises are based on the Genesys RF and Microwave Design Software from Keysight Technologies.
