Spectrum and Interference Analysis

Overview:

Specialized Spectrum analysis and interference course is an intense one day instructor led training course that focuses on spectrum analysis basic theory and its main applications, including modulation measurements and interference analysis.

• Hands on: learn by doing the task and not by watching. (60% of the course is hands-on)
• Critical Emphasis: fine tune points and techniques that are of particular importance to your operations. Our skilled instructors and staff can tailor the module to meet your requirements.
• Cost saving: Eliminate or significantly reduce your travel expenses because training sessions are offered in a location close to you.
• Schedule: Training sessions can be easily scheduled months in advance. Get more specific details regarding class location etc by contacting us directly on +44 (0) 1582 433275

Target audience:

Wireless Carriers, Base Station OEM’s, Tower Companies, Field Engineers, Installers, Site Managers.
