E-Course 605 Radio Spectrum Management – Technical Basics
Instructor: Mr. Olov Carlsson
This e-learning course in Radio Spectrum Management is taught by Mr. Olov Carlsson, Senior Director – EM Solutions at Altair Engineering, Sweden. This topic is of ever increasing importance for Telecommunications Companies, Public Authorities as well as for Defence Forces. Radio Spectrum Management – Technical Basics This e-learning course is giving participants the knowledge of technical basics, like Technical Characteristics, Radio Wave Propagation and Collocation Interference. The course includes: 131 minutes on-demand video 43 modules 3 months access This course is the second part of a series of three e-Learning courses about Radio Spectrum Management. For effective training benefit, we recommend also attending course 604 Radio Spectrum Management – Introduction, Organisations and Regulations and course 606 Radio Spectrum Management for various Services Get a better price when ordering all three courses: Bundle 604-606 Radio Spectrum Management Read full course description including course schedule.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 Technical basics of the Radio Spectrum Management.
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.
The course has 3 parts;
- Technical characteristics, Radio noise
- Radio wave propagation
- Collocation Interference
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:

Download the file WRAPv 4.23.2 (or newer version if available), unzip and follow the Setup instructions document. You may also download the Videos folder to watch demonstrations on how to use the software.
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.
