Any tips for a new RF engineer?
Any tips for a new RF engineer?
(OP)
I just got a job offer as an RF design engineer related to RADAR test simulator equipment.
I was wondering if anyone had any tips of what I should study before I start the job?
I am graduating this spring and starting soon after and I just want to be prepared for my first engineering job.
I've look up several book that have gotten good reviews:
Fundamentals of Radar Signal Processing by Mark Richards
RF Circuit Design by Chris Bowick
RF Design Guide: Systems... Equations by Peter Vizmuller
Electromagnetics Explained: A Handbook by Ron Schmitt
I've also been reading up on ADS and HFSS simulators.
So, is there any advice for me and/or book selections?
Thank you!

I'm not suggesting stop learning, I'm merely saying don't try to cram in a bunch of stuff a few weeks before starting unless they have given you specifics as to the type of projects you'll be working on.

Working life is a succession of continuous learning.

(1) EVERY wire is an ANTENNA.
(2) EVERY return wire isn't a GROUND.

Reference Data for Engineers: Radio, Electronics, Computer, and Communication (SAMS 21563) if it is still in print.
Along with 70's comments:
GROUND is what you are probably walking on, not a magical symbol/net that makes your circuit work. At RF you need to treat GROUND as another signal that you are as careful with as any other RF trace.
