Microwave Transmission Network Fundamentals

Course Objectives
This training course provides the student with a strong background in the area of planning telecommunication transmission networks using modern Radio-relay Digital Microwave radio. The course covers in detail all the important aspects of radio propagation, starting from free-space loss and absorption loss, followed by statistical analysis of various phenomena impairing radio reception process rain, multipath fading (both flat and selective), K-factor variation and ducting.

Audience
Junior RF Transmission Engineer who want to understand Transmission Network Fundamentals.
