RF and Wireless Training Courses - Foundation Courses: 594 - SDR Training - Software-Defined Radio (SDR)

2011-09-28T20:35:54-04:00

A software-defined radio (SDR) system is a radio communication system which uses software for the modulation and demodulation of radio signals. The goal of SDR is to produce a radio that can receive and transmit a new form of radio protocol just by running new software.

The hardware of a software-defined radio typically consists of a superheterodyne RF front end which converts RF signals from and to analog IF signals, and analog to digital converter and digital to analog converters which are used to convert a digitised IF signal from and to analog form, respectively.

Tonex's SDR training course covers the current technological status of radio frequency design, data conversion, reconfigurable signal processing hardware, and software issues at all levels of the protocol stack and network.

SDR Training provides a holistic treatment of SDR addressing the full breadth of relevant technologies: radio frequency design, signal processing and software at all levels. It also provides a solid grounding for a new generation of wireless engineers for whom radio design in future will assume dynamic flexibility as a given.

SDR technologies provide software control of a variety of modulation, interference management and capacity enhancement techniques over a broad frequency spectrum (wide and narrow band), while ensuring secure communications management. Radios built using SDR concepts offer:

Standard architecture for a wide range of communications products
Non-restrictive wireless roaming for consumers by extending the capabilities of current and emerging commercial air-interface standards
Uniform communication across commercial, civil, federal and military organizations
Flexibility and adaptability
Potential for significant life-cycle cost reductions
Over the air downloads of new features and services as well as software patches
Advanced networking capabilities to allow truly "portable" networks
Worldwide interest and investment in the SDR technologies is growing significantly, with key standardization and development efforts now taking place throughout Europe, North America, Japan, Korea, and China.
In addition to the broad benefits listed above, SDR technologies offer unique benefits to players on every tier of the value chain

RF Training Courses: 5021 - RF Safety Training

2009-08-09T16:48:21-04:00

Radiofrequency (RF) and microwave (MW) radiation are electromagnetic radiation in the frequency ranges 3 kilohertz (kHz) - 300 Megahertz (MHz), and 300 MHz - 300 gigahertz (GHz), respectively.

Electric and magnetic fields are complex physical agents whose potential health effects are the subject of much research. Particularly controversial are the biophysical mechanisms by which these RF fields may affect biological systems. General health effects reviews explore possible carcinogenic, reproductive and neurological effects. Health effects by exposure source are noted in radar traffic devices, wireless communications with cellular phones, radio transmission, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

RF exposures are directly linked to absorption and distribution of RF energy in the body, and the absorption and distribution are strongly dependent on body size and orientation and on frequency and polarization of the incident radiation. A common measure of exposure is the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), the rate of energy absorption in tissue, measured in watts per kilogram of tissue.

The FCC requires that all wireless and RF generating sites be fully compliant with its RF/NEPA rules! Environmental rules for evaluating the potential for human exposure to RF are complex. Assessing the cumulative RF levels at multiple emitter collocation sites creates an even greater challenge. Then, there is OSHA!

RF Safety Training covers the theory and practical aspects of identification and prevention of all possible biological effects of exposure to RF/MW radiation from radios, cellular phones, communications transmitters, radar transmitters and more.

In our increasingly complex RF world of cell towers, rooftop antennas, in-building antennas and other sources of RF energy, RF Safety Training is essential to any professional who might be engaged in activities near antennas and wireless equipments. This course can be customized or combined to meet specific system requirements.

Satellite Communications Training Courses: 5022 - VSAT Technology Training Boot Camp

2011-07-08T15:20:33-04:00

What is a TONEX Boot Camp?

TONEX Boot Camps are intensive, weeklong learning experiences that cover the essential elements of your chose subject. Boot camps are ideal for busy professionals who want to stay current in their fields but have limited time to be away from the office.

All boot camp includes:

Experienced instructors including senior technology leaders, project managers, technical authors, engineers, educators, consultants, course developers, and CTOs.
Real life examples and practices.
Small class size.
Personalized instructor mentoring.
Pre-training discussions
Ongoing post-training support via e-mail, phone and WebEx.

What will you learn at the TONEX VSAT Training Boot Camp?

The use of Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) systems is growing throughout the world as a way of establishing private satellite communications networks for large organizations that have several widely dispersed locations, or providing higher bandwidth for the individual. Depending on bandwidth requirement (data speed and/or communications channels), VSAT systems can be relatively small and easily installed.

A VSAT is a two-way satellite ground station with a dish antenna that is smaller than 3 meters (most VSAT antennas range from 75 cm to 2.4 m). Very Small Aperture Terminals data rates typically range from narrowband up to 18 Mbit/s. Very Small Aperture Terminals access satellites in geosynchronous orbit to relay data from small remote earth stations (terminals) to other terminals (in mesh configurations) or master earth station "hubs" (in star configurations).

This intensive technical course provides the attendees with an in-depth background of VSAT techniques as well as a state of the art update on key emerging technologies and future systems.

VSAT technical boot camp details the technology of satellite communications, focusing on VSAT networks and how they compete with terrestrial alternatives. The fundamentals of Constituent parts of a VSAT configuration, planning, network architecture, orbits, link budget, coverage, ground equipment hardware, installation, operation, and maintenance are covered.

Objectives:

Upon completing of this course, attendees will be able to:

Explain the basics of Satellite Communications (SATCOM)
Define Very Small Aperture Terminals (VSAT)
Understand VSAT services and features
Understand VSAT architecture, system design , multiple access, modulation and coding schemes
Step through VSAT propagation aspects and antennas
Investigate the state of the art in new areas such as speech and video coding, and VSAT networking
Understand VSAT subsystem & launching
