Spectrum monitoring techniques and methods (intermediate)

This online instructor-led course was delivered by the Egyptian African Telecom Regulatory Training Center (EG-ATRC), an ITU Academy Training Centre.

OBJECTIVES:

• Summarize Core Concepts: 

  • Revise the fundamentals of spectrum monitoring and its importance in managing radio frequencies effectively. 

  • Recognize the relationship between spectrum monitoring and spectrum management. 

• Apply International Standards: Recognize and apply international guidelines, including ITU recommendations, to spectrum monitoring tasks. 

• Examine Equipment Usage: Analyze advanced monitoring tools such as spectrum analyzers, direction-finding systems, and other related equipment. 

• Perform Monitoring Tasks: Conduct various spectrum monitoring activities, including measurements, spectrum scanning, and EMF assessments. 

• Manage Interference: Identify, analyze, and resolve radio interference issues using practical techniques and case studies. 

• Utilize Spectrum Monitoring Stations: Recognize the roles of different types of monitoring stations (fixed, mobile, portable, automated) and their configurations. 

• Implement Direction Finding Techniques: Apply direction-finding methods to locate transmitters and address unauthorized spectrum use. 

• Analyze Measurement Data: Interpret measurement results and spectrum scanner outputs to ensure efficient frequency use. 

• Enhance Regulatory Compliance: Support regulatory objectives through effective monitoring practices aligned with ITU recommendations and reports. 

• Develop Practical Problem-Solving Skills: Tackle real-world spectrum challenges using learned techniques and tools.
