COURSE OVERVIEW

Microwave networks provide reliable point-to-point and highly directional communication that maximizes your RF transmission. Because Microwave uses a higher frequency band, the capacity, throughput, and reliability of Microwave networks are well-proven and understood to be very efficient throughout the telecommunications industry. In existence since the mid-1940s, point-to-point microwave now uses digital modulation rather than simply analog.

This Microwave Training Fundamentals Course presents state-of-the-art microwave radio communications. The Microwave Training Fundamentals course presents the basic theory, procedures, and techniques for microwave communication systems and Microwave Radio link planning and frequency management. Detailed mathematical analyses are minimized in order to concentrate on basic concepts, procedures, and optimal applications. Measured results are used to demonstrate each of the techniques discussed.
