Wireless Integration and Antenna Workshop- “Build a Better Wireless Device”
FREE WIRELESS INTEGRATION AND ANTENNA WORKSHOP
Rohde & Schwarz, Elite Electronic Engineering, and Field Theory Consulting have teamed up to provide a technical seminar to help wireless designers and integrators use antenna testing and over the air measurements to evaluate the performance for combined radio antenna systems. Using antenna and over the air performance measurement, wireless designers can optimize the performance of their systems to achieve higher data throughput increase range and reduced power consumption.
Designed for wireless engineers and product integrators, this free workshop will show you how to improve throughput, extend range, increase power efficiency, and make better antenna and test decisions through technical sessions and live demonstrations.
Wednesday- November 11, 2026 | 8:00 AM–3:15 PM
