AWR Partners with James Cook University Professor Keith Kikkert
to Offer eBook on RF Design
|

- Dr. Kikkert Showcases AWR Software and Bridges Microwave &
RF Theory with Practical Hands-on Lab Experience
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. – June 24, 2013 –
AWR Corporation,
the innovation leader in high-frequency EDA software, announces a new
eBook,
RF Electronics: Design and Simulation, which is available free of
charge to students, graduates, professors and industry professionals
through AWR’s new
Professors in Partnership™ web portal. Developed by adjunct associate
professor
C. J. (Keith) Kikkert of James Cook University (JCU) School of Engineering
and Physical Sciences, Townsville, Queensland, Australia, the book describes
the use of AWR's
Microwave Office® and
AXIEM®
software to design RF electronic devices for applications such as amplifiers,
radar, mobile phones, Bluetooth, and WLAN. This book is
suitable for teaching RF and microwave electronic design in the final
year of an undergraduate Bachelor Degree program or as a course in a
postgraduate program. Chapter 2 can be used at earlier years of a Bachelor
Degree program to teach the principles of computer simulation and design
of analogue electronic circuits. All the AWRDE project files used for
the material in the book are included with the eBook. The
new eBook is the inaugural offering for AWR’s Professors in Partnership
program, which aims to provide engineering students, faculty, and graduates
with access to ongoing microwave and RF educational content that enhances
and promotes the use of AWR software solutions through e-books, textbooks,
and videos. The eBook is the next-generation of Dr. Kikkert’s popular
RF and microwave electronic engineering course that has been widely
distributed by AWR to universities worldwide over the past several years.
“AWR software offers a unique combination of power, sophistication,
and ease-of-use, making it ideal for quickly teaching my students the
skills needed to be productive in the real design world,” said Professor
Kikkert. "AWR’s help in making my new eBook widely available through
the Professors in Partnership program is another step in ensuring that
the next generation of designers will be well prepared to meet the challenges
of the commercial job market." “In today’s competitive
market, engineering students who bring to their employers experience
in real world design and knowledge of the use of design software are
ahead of the game,” said Sherry Hess, AWR VP of marketing. “AWR is committed
to helping students conquer the learning curve for design software early
in their careers, and to that end we are pleased to be able to partner
with educators like Professor Kikkert to make available to students,
universities, and graduates free materials such as eBooks, online course
materials, and tutorial videos that facilitate learning.”

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got
Mail" when a new message arrived...
