*You only need to book the first class via Topmate and complete the payment there. The remaining classes will be provided FREE through discount coupon links, which will be shared after the first class. This approach is due to a limitation on Topmate, which currently does not support booking all four classes at once.
**We’re offering an exclusive 25% discount for those working or studying in India. Connect with me on LinkedIn for further details.
Most courses teach you a tool; this course teaches you a workflow. You will learn to navigate the three most common EDA platforms while solving real-world RF hardware challenges.

-RF LNA Symbol and Footprint Creation
Day 2: Schematic Mastery
Build a complete RF switch schematic, manage BOMs, and run ERC for design integrity.
-Drawing Wires & Buses
-Assigning Net Names
-Preparing BOM
-Generating Netlist
Day 3: Layout & Stackup Mastery
Learn RF-specific design rules, bypass capacitor placement, via stitching for shielding, and material selection (Rogers vs. FR4).
