SUMMARY:Microwave Engineering Masterclass [Online short course] August 2025
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to Plan\, Design and Operate Radio Networks.\nBook your spot now >>\nMicrowave radio as a technology has been around for decades\, but over the years it has transitioned from analogue to digital transmission systems together and we have seen huge advances in equipment characteristics. This mix of old and new has resulted in a lot of confusion\, with this course unravelling the mysteries of these multiple industry myths. \nAt the end of this course\, you will understand the overall microwave market with an update on current and future developments\, including how to apply the latest planning standards. \nMicrowave propagation is still analogue\, and an in-depth understanding of microwave propagation and the various fading effects from weather variations is essential to designing\, operating and maintaining a stable network. The new hardware improvements and features will be covered\, as well as an in-depth look at antennas and the effects of interference in a digital network. \nThere are lots of opportunities to apply the theory with practical examples and tutorials using a training calculator that has all the basic formulas that are embedded in industry planning software tools. This allows the participants to understand the input parameters to industry planning tools plus what the output sheets really mean. \nCourse delivery: Online\nDate: 25 – 29 August 2025\nTime: 10.00 am – 12.30 pm AEST\nDuration: 5 x 2.5hr sessions (12.5hrs total)\nCost: ARCIA Members = $1320 +GST; Non-member = $1650 +GST\nTrainer: Trevor Manning\, TMC Global \nTickets are limited to just 20 seats\, so book quickly to avoid disappointment.
