TECHNOLOGY FOCUS
Radio Spectrum Management is of ever increasing importance for Telecommunications Companies, Public Authorities as well as for Defense Forces.
It is necessary for the planning, implementation and operation phases of various types of technologies: point-to-point/multipoint links, broadband wireless access, cellular systems, radar, navigation systems as well as television and sound broadcasting networks, both analogue and digital.
The hierarchical process of military spectrum management has extensive needs for long-term strategic as well as short-term tactical frequency management.
COURSE CONTENT
This elearning course gives participants the knowledge of rules and regulations for the utilisation of the Radio Spectrum.
Methods for planning and coordination of point-to-point, point-to-multipoint and area covering radio networks to achieve performance targets and spectral efficiency are covered.
The following Services are covered (for details see Modules... below);
- Space services
- Mobile services
- Broadcasting services
- Radionavigation, Radiolocation, Science services
- Non-licensed services, other issues
When the Radio Spectrum Management course is conducted as classroom training the WRAP software for spectrum management and radio network planning is installed on the student computers and practical exercises are performed. The software is available for E-learning students also although the E-learning course does not make use of do-it-yourself exercises. Computer requirements are PC, Windows Vista, 7 SP1, 8 and 10.
Videos demonstrating the use of the software can be downloaded.
The videos can be found here:
