RF Passport Course Tracks

Since the RF/Wireless Passport program is part of our RF Mentor Academy Subscription, not only do you get access for an entire year at a time, but you also get access to all of the other great content that's part of the subscription catalog.

For example:

- let's say you have viewed Rick Fornes' lecture on RF power amplifiers that is part of "topic group C" in the passport program. If you want to dive deeper into that topic you can easily view the "Power Amplifier ABC's" tutorial by Allen Podell - or - take the entire "RF Power Amplifiers and GaN Technology" course by Ali Darwish. Both are already included with your subscription - no need for additional funding/approval requests!
- enhance your understanding of 5G concepts with our "What is 5G" tutorial by Joe Boccuzzi.
As the topics in the RF/Wireless Passport program are rotated through the subscription, our aim is to continue to make tutorials and related short courses that align with those topics available to subscribers at the same time. For example, when the topic groups for the passport program rotate to focus on "RF and High Speed Digital PCB Fundamentals", we aim to offer tutorials and short courses on EMI/EMC related topics to subscribers at the same time.
