Budding RF Engg - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Hi,

I am a Masters student in EE with focus on wireless engg and will be graduating in May'05. I am NOT into IC design and want to work in RF systems engg, planning and optimization. I interned this summer at a telecom consultant company where I learned MapInfo, did data post processing and drive tested CDMA network, I realized that most of the softwares used in the RF industry are proprietary and you cannot learn them in school. My question is what kind of an entry level position should I look for? Are there any companies which gives training to new grads?

thanks
Adi

in today's economy very hard to get training, more like you will be forced to work from day one.

How is feeling in LCC? It doesn't give you permanent position?
Have you tried WFI?

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
