  • 5 items

Join Keysight engineers for a skill-building deep dive into modern satellite communication technologies. This course guides you through the fundamentals and testing challenges of flat panel antennas with real-world context, demonstrations, and step-by-step guidance you can start applying in your lab today. By the end of this course, you’ll understand how to design, validate, and scale phased array antenna systems for high-performance SatCom networks.

Learn:

  • Why electronically steerable antennas are critical for modern LEO/MEO satellite networks.
  • How to design and test phased array antennas across RF, digital, and OTA domains.
  • How to transition from prototype validation to high-volume antenna production.

This course is ideal for RF, antenna, and system test engineers or anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of flat panel antenna design, validation, and deployment in next-generation satellite systems.
