Practical techniques
EMC FUNDAMENTALS
To guarantee spectrum monitoring systems
operate with as little interference as possible the
participants shall learn the fundamentals of EMC
testing to insure optimal system operation. This
part of the course is presented by MESA Solutions
(Pty)Ltd:
www.mesasolutions.co.za
MEASUREMENT SYSTEM TRAINING
OCCUPANCY MEASUREMENTS
Course participants will learn the principles of
Frequency Band Occupancy (FBO) and
Frequency
Channel
Occupancy
(FCO)
measurements and its contribution to the
spectrum monitoring and spectrum management
processes.
This is a hands-on practical course that teaches
the participant the technical limitations and
software operation of DF & Monitoring systems.
Practical training is provided for fixed, mobile and
semi-mobile installations.
If licensing data is available, measured occupancy
data can be compared with licensing information
for that area.
