The course focuses on ITU-compliant spectrum monitoring and management techniques and the modern-day challenges associated with both. The course employs classroom and hands-on activities to provide students with an overview of spectrum management and a practical review of monitoring techniques and their interaction. Classroom time is used to instruct in the system components, operational principles of a monitoring station (fixed, mobile, transportable, and portable), principles of signal measurements, radio direction finding, and signal identification and recording. These hands-on activities demonstrate the real-time application of the principles taught in the classroom, including mission planning, operational setup, mission execution, and data analysis and management.
Learning Objectives:
To learn practical implementation of spectrum management, spectrum monitoring, radio direction finding, and signal measurement techniques as they relate to the international standards of the ITU and today’s signal environment.
