PDFUnderstanding RF with NI Multisim
This workbook contains radio frequency (RF) applications to be used with NI Multisim. Twenty-one specially designed electronic communication experiments are provided for use with this computer controlled environment. These experiments are meant to supplement the theory students normally obtain in lectures. The course was developed by Tracy Shields, an electrical engineer and experienced instructor from Toronto, Canada.
This workbook is not meant to replace traditional laboratory methodology, but rather to augment students’ hands-on learning experiences by applying features which are inconvenient to implement within the strict limitations of many RF communication laboratories.
Within Multisim’s environment, unlimited quantities of parts and multiple instruments are available to overcome the traditional obstacles typically encountered by students, technicians, technologists, engineers, and others involved in electronic circuit design. Unlike the impact of the restrictions of a singular physical laboratory on an inquiring mind, implementation of the experimental approach to circuit analysis is simple when using Multisim. This simplicity encourages further investigation.
"Understanding RF with Multisim" may be used free of charge without restriction in an educational setting. These exercises, complete with lab procedures and questions, will reinforce important concepts, build student confidence, and make the most of valuable lab time. These experiments can be given directly to students as lab exercises, and also include suggestions as to other areas of possible use.
Availability
Understanding RF is available as a single download which includes both the PDF manual and circuits for each chapter.

The NI Electronics Education Platform
The NI Electronics Education Platform is an end-to-end toolchain designed to meet the needs of students and educators. It is an ideal mix of integrated hardware and software that guides students through the engineering and design process from understanding circuit theory to developing and simulating designs, and then on to prototyping and validation.
The platform consists of NI Multisim, the NI ELVIS prototyping workstation, and NI LabVIEW and SignalExpress. NI Multisim provides intuitive schematic capture and SPICE simulation to help students explore circuit theory and investigate behavior. Multisim also includes a 3D prototyping environment which can help students to bridge from a software environment to real-world designs. The NI ELVIS is a prototyping platform that allows students to quickly and easily develop their circuits and take measurements interactively using 12 built-in virtual insturments such as an oscilloscope, multimeter, variable power supply, and function generator. NI LabVIEW and SignalExpress are ideal environments which offer intuitive interfaces to measuremens, and allow students to compare their measurements and simulations on the same display.
