RF Link Budget Under Jamming Workshop by Tonex
RF Link Budget Under Jamming Workshop by Tonex prepares participants to calculate received signal power, evaluate link margin, and assess how intentional interference changes communication reliability. The workshop focuses on practical RF planning concepts, including transmit power, antenna gain, path loss, noise floor, jammer-to-signal ratio, and degradation of receiver performance under contested spectrum conditions. Participants learn how engineering decisions influence mission communications, spectrum resilience, and operational availability.
Cybersecurity is directly affected when adversaries use RF jamming to disrupt command, telemetry, navigation, or data links. Strong cybersecurity planning must include RF denial threats, resilient communications, and protection of wireless mission pathways. This workshop helps teams connect RF engineering analysis with secure system operations.
