rf engineer vs mobile comm engineer ????? - 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.

Hmm ..they are pretty much the same. Look at it this way.. Mobile communications are a subset of RF wireless communication. In a company like Motorola, Nortel, Nokia, Ericsson (referred to as "vendors") there is need for both but in companies like Verizon, Cingular, Alltel, Sprint -Nextel (refrred to as "carriers") the former would be mainly preferred.

Hope that kinda guided you ...

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...
