Hands-on Learning for Radio Frequency Spectrum innovation

Explore Radio Frequency Spectrum Sharing and Spectrum Superiority related concepts through interactive experiments and programming mini-projects.

These self-paced online courses introduce fundamental concepts and recent developments related to efficient, effective use of the radio frequency (RF) spectrum in constrained, congested, and contested (complex) RF environments. Participants explore concepts in depth through interactive simulations to apply and extend knowledge gained through lectures and diverse supplemental learning resources.

In the final course, participants apply rule-based artificial intelligence as well as machine learning approaches in challenging, non-graded mini-projects. In the mini-projects you will modify provided, user-editable transmission parameter adaptation code for use in simulated RF environments. Mini-project goals include maintaining wireless link quality in fading channels and avoiding an interfering and/or higher-priority signal in a shared RF band.
