Most teams overlap these disciplines. Consider them working directions, not rigid boxes: a product engineer may spend a week in a chamber, a simulation, and a design review.
- 01RF & microwave designTurn a system requirement into circuits, assemblies, and measured hardware that works at frequency.
- 02Antennas & propagationShape how energy leaves, travels through, and is collected by a wireless product or system.
- 03Wireless systemsBalance coverage, capacity, reliability, and implementation constraints across a complete radio link.
- 04RF test & validationMake a design trustworthy by translating specifications into repeatable measurements and clear evidence.
- 05RFIC & mmWave designDesign radio-frequency integrated circuits and packages where parasitics, layout, and process limits are central.
- 06EMC & complianceHelp products coexist with their electromagnetic environment and satisfy the requirements of the markets they enter.
