RF and Microwave Devices
Explore the design, development and testing of RF and microwave components used within wireless communication systems, including antennas, amplifiers, filters and multiplexers.
Design the technologies that keep the world connected
NMITE's first stand-alone postgraduate degree will launch in 2027.
Wireless communication powers everything from mobile networks and satellites to radar systems, aerospace applications and the Internet of Things. The proposed MSc Radio Frequency and Wireless Communication Engineering at NMITE is being developed to equip graduates and engineering professionals with advanced knowledge and practical experience in the design, development and testing of radio frequency (RF), microwave and wireless communication technologies.
Through NMITE's studio-based and challenge-led approach to learning, students would work on industry-informed engineering challenges that connect theory with real-world hardware design and wireless systems development.
This degree is Subject to Validation.
