This is a sample of the RF Technology Certification lecture material. The online RF Technology Certification from Besser Associates is a four-part self-paced program that covers the essential skills for working with RF and wireless components:
This is the EM waves workbook from the course.
Reviewing the previous edition, IEEE Microwave Magazine boasted, "anyone designing power amplifiers will find this book thought provoking and useful."
The second of two volumes, this is a comprehensive treatment of nonlinear circuits, introducing the advanced topics that professionals need to understand for their RF (radio frequency) circuit design work. It presents an introduction to active RF devices and their modelling, and explores nonlinear circuit simulation techniques. Design techniques are addressed for RF transistor amplifiers, oscillators, mixers and frequency multipliers.
Our dB and dBm calculators allow you to quickly convert between power ratios and decibel notation. The new versions allow for additional conversions from a drop down menu. You can still access the old versions if you prefer.

This book by Besser Associates instructor Earl McCune is the basis of the short course by the same name. From the publisher:
With the evolution of wireless systems and services, the on-air signals themselves are also undergoing very significant transformations. This paper by Besser Associates instructor Earl McCune provides a survey of the active and coming-soon signal types adopted for wireless systems around the world. Focus is on modulation schemes, along with various measures used to characterize the signals before and after power amplification.
This book by Joe Boccuzzi is the basis of the course Baseband Signal Processing and Wireless Communications.
This book is based on the RF Measurements: Principles and Demonstration course from Besser Associates.
