COURSE CONTENT

This 3-day course gives participants the knowledge of rules and regulations for the utilisation of the Radio Spectrum.

Methods for analysis, planning and coordination of radio systems in order to achieve required performance within the system are discussed, as well as precautions to avoid interfering with collocated radio systems.

International and national bodies and regulations are presented. International agreements for coordination are discussed.

Central subjects include coverage, availability and interference issues in Radio Spectrum Management.

An overview of radio wave propagation and characteristic radio system properties in different frequency ranges is presented. Radio wave propagation causing over-range and interference is discussed.

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.

Application demonstrations using software for radio spectrum management will be conducted under instructor supervision.

To benefit most, participants should bring a laptop computer with Windows Vista SP2/Windows 7 SP1/Windows 8/Windows 10 operating system for installation of the software WRAP.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

The course is intended for engineers and radio spectrum managers working with radio communications with a need to know about regulations for the utilisation of the radio spectrum and methods for analysis, planning and coordination of radio systems in order to achieve required performance within the system without interfering with other radio systems.
