RF/Microwave Design - Impedance Matching
Impedance matching is one of the most critical aspects of RF design, and its complexity grows significantly in wideband systems used in modern communications. This course provides a structured way through the fundamentals of RF impedance, mismatch phenomena, and the quantitative metrics used to evaluate performance. Learners will explore classical single-frequency matching techniques before progressing to broadband solutions like binomial and Tschebyscheff transformers. The final section focuses on wideband impedance matching challenges in antenna arrays and practical system design trade-offs for minimizing loss. Designed for RF engineers and technical professionals, the course blends theoretical aspects with modern real-world examples, enabling participants to apply RF impedance matching strategies confidently in systems as 5G, Wi-Fi, and other wideband networks. This course is designed for electrical and electronics engineers, RF design professionals, and advanced students interested in microwave circuit design. It’s ideal for those working with antennas, amplifiers, or multi-channel systems who want to enhance efficiency and minimize signal loss. Learners should have a basic understanding of RF circuit theory and familiarity with transmission lines, S-parameters, and network analysis concepts. Prior experience with simulation or design tools will be helpful but not required. By the end of this course, you will understand how RF impedance works, why mismatches matter, and which performance metrics shape wideband system behavior. You’ll be able to apply both classical and broadband matching techniques to single-band and multiband designs, and confidently assess matching strategies for advanced applications such as 5G antennas, phased arrays, and complete RF systems.

Global Adolescent Health
This course will explore the dynamic factors affecting the health and wellbeing of young people around the world, and how important it is for individuals, communities and nations that we improve the health and life chances of this important population group. With over 25% of the world’s population aged between 10 and 24 years, today’s generation of young people is the largest in human history. As the future leaders and drivers of growth, productivity and innovation, young people are our greatest assets, and investment in their health and wellbeing has social, economic and other benefits that continue across the lifespan and into the next generation. In this course we will adopt a life-course framework to take a holistic view of youth health and wellbeing. We will explore changing patterns of adolescent health and development, including why adolescence is starting earlier and ending later; how puberty and adolescent brain development may shape future health; and how what happens in adolescence can affect the start to life for the next generation. We’ll also look at the major health and social issues affecting young people and ways of addressing these through policy, practice and programming. COURSE FORMAT: This course comprises short video lectures and interviews, required and recommended readings, online discussion, quizzes and written assignments. There is no required text for this course and all readings are provided. DO I HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS COURSE? No- you may access 100% of material in this course for free.
