This course provides a thorough overview of the principles behind RF optimization. This four-day course builds competence in the principles and present-day practices used to improve the operating performance of modern wireless systems. Core performance indicators are thoroughly explored and desirable healthy operating conditions are identified. Both system-side and mobile-side performance-monitoring tools are introduced. The main operating parameters are identified along with the considerations necessary to properly set them in real systems.
Signatures of specific problems (including several deadly but innocent-appearing failure mechanisms) are identified, along with their common solutions. Real-life captured drive-test examples are studied and solved by the class. Special attention is given to multiple-carrier and intersystem handoff issues, system determination algorithms commonly used by mobiles, and data communication, and a glimpse of future issues.
At conclusion, participants will be able to evaluate their own systems' performance, armed with the knowledge and confidence necessary to identify and solve most common problems.
Applicability Wireless LANs, Wireless WANs, Microwave Systems, WiMAX (802.16-2004), Mobile WiMAX (802.16e-2005), Satellite,CDMA, CDMA2000, GSM, GPRS, EDGE, and W-CDMA UMTS systems (R99, HSDPA, HSUPA)

Instructor's presentation organization, methodology and knowledge were excellent. I would recommend this course for all RF Technicians and Engineers alike.
Scott Laurent, Southern LINC,
The 4-day RF Optimization course was an excellent program. I will defiantly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a good course in RF Optimization.
Yair Castillo García, Gedas Mexico SA de CV
Pre course investigation to find our companies goals allowed the instructor to tailor the documentation to use specifically. OUTSTANDING!.
Cian O Sullivan, Logic Communications, Bermuda
The course was excellent. The instructor's presentation, knowledge, interaction with students and subject explanation were all excellent.
The sections on RF engineering were the most relevant to my work. I found several directly applicable pieces of information by attendance at the course. I keep all book at my desk, but the RF Engineering Books are on right on top. I use them almost daily
If you are wondering about the various 2G/3G/4G Wireless communications technologies, how they work, and the advantages & disadvantages of each technology, then this course is for you. The instructor is extremely knowledgeable on the subject matter, and is a great source of information that we have made direct use of in our work.
