Practical Spectrum Monitoring Measurements
Training Focus
This course gives an introduction to practical spectrum monitoring measurements. Delegates will follow practical examples to illustrate the limitations of spectrum monitoring measurements. During practical measurements of the RF environment the delegates are taught the demonstrated techniques.
Course Objectives
After completing the training delegates will be able to perform practical spectrum monitoring measurements under real-life conditions and understand the limitations in the RF field. They will also be able to make estimations of expected measurement results, judging the quality of the measurements performed and planning measurement campaigns.
Intended for
Regulatory authorities’ staff members supposed to execute spectrum monitoring measurements.
