Description
The course gives an overview on Telecom products Type Approval through an introductory session on compliance related fields of Radio Frequency (RF), Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), Safety and Health. The course then goes deeper into the RF compliance topic starting with giving some basic theory related to RF tests and needed test equipment and then going more comprehensively into the Spectrum Analyzer equipment. The lectures concentrate on the sweeping Spectrum Analyzer. They introduce its measurement concept, its main built-in blocks and the function of each and the appropriate adjustment for their related parameters configurations based on the measurement application.. The course finally show a real test setup example of a cellular repeater, test steps followed to carry out some selected RF tests on it with showing the results displayed on the test equipment and the interpretation of them.
Engineers involved in regulatory Type Approval of telecom equipment
Qualifications or experience needed to participate in this training course:
- Bachelor degree in Telecom Engineering.
Selection criteria:
- Priority to Regulatory Bodies Telecom test Engineers.
Number of available places for the cohort: Max 40
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Identify the compliance requirements for Telecom equipment Type Approval associated to RF, EMC, Safety and Health.
- Determine the main Test Equipment needed for performing RF tests for Type Approval.
- Interpret RF standards testing limits, setup and procedure.
- Differentiate between different RF standards requirements.
- Differentiate between Sweeping Spectrum Analyzer and Real-Time Spcetrum Analyzer and their usages.
- Operate with the sweeping Spectrum Analyzer, appropriately adjust its main parameters for the needed RF test and correctly interpret its results.
The online course will be through live presentations sessions on Zoom.The presentation slides material shall be delivered to the trainees before the lectures for giving the opportunity to write notes during the sessions and to self-study them. The sessions will dedicate intervals to receive questions and answer them through interactive discussions with the trainees. An assignment questions sheet will be delivered to the trainees at the end of each day. The deadline of assignments will be two days after the course end date.
The training assessment will be based on attendance, active participation plus the delivered assignments.
