Advanced Microwave Office® Features (3 day course)
Location:
Los Angeles, CA
http://www.mclabs.com/facilities/los_angeles.aspx
Date:
June 8th - 10th
Time:
9:00 am - 5:00 pm
Intended Audience:
This 3-day course should be taken by the designer who wants to be able to use the advanced features in Microwave Office. The attendee is shown how to customize the software to meet his or her specific needs so that it can be used to its full potential. The course is broken up into four major sections: customization of the user environment, circuit simulation, layout features, and electromagnetic simulation and extraction.
Prerequisites: The attendee is assumed to have a basic, working knowledge of Microwave Office. This can be achieved by either taking the Microwave Office for Designers course, or working through the online training modules: Introduction to Microwave Office, Layout Overview, Harmonic Balance Overview, and EM Overview. Please contact training@awrcorp.com if you would like advice on what training is appropriate for your background and needs.
