A basic course in DC circuit theory including topics such as ohm's law, power dissipated in a resistor, Thevenin equivalent circuit, and Norton equivalent circuit.

A basic course in AC circuit theory, including concepts such as impedance, inductance, capacitance, reactance, and others.

An introductory course on the decibel (dB) a logarithmic power ratio measure. The dB is used in acoustice, RF and microwave measurements, antenna measurements, RCS measurements and the like. Teaches some methods to do quick calculation in one's head.

This is an introductory course on digital circuits elements, i.e. basic binary logic gates, and some simple digital circuits that can be built from them. The primary purpose is to prepare the student for more advanced courses by explaining the basic building blocks of digital circuitry. This course is intended for engineers and technicians who need some basic introduction to digital circuit elements.

In this course we introduce some of the concepts involved in semiconductor devices as well as some of the devices themself. There is no math involved, this is strictly a course for the introduction of the concepts, a more detailed course will follow this one.

This is an introductory course on signals and signal modulation. It is one of the prerequisite for other courses involving signal measurement.

This intermediate course on DC circuit analysis discusses various methods of analyzing circuits to determine currents and voltages. This course requires knowledge of the derivative, which is used to prove what condition needs to be met for maximum power transfer. The remainder of the course only requires basic algebra.

This course explores the quantities of impedance and admittance. For one-port devices these quantities are complex numbers, but for a device of two or more ports, these quantities are matrices that relate currents and voltages at the individual ports. This course also discusses the related ABCD matrix for two-ports, and S-parameters. The relationship between these quantities with resistors, capacitors, and inductors is explored.

This is the first in a series of courses on the Smith chart. This particular course covers some basic history, theory review, plotting on and reading from the Smith chart, and simple transmission line calculations.

This is the second in a series of courses on the Smith chart. This course describes several methods of designing a matching network at a single frequency using the Smith chart.

This course serves as a basic introduction to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and electromagnetic interference (EMI). It is a high-level overview of the topic in preparation for future courses. Some familiarity with basic RF and microwave concepts is assumed, and some basic algebra.

This is an introductory course on grounding and shielding in a laboratory environment. It covers some of the basic concepts of grounding in facilities, and how shielded enclosures are used.
