Course 311 - CW Test Transmitter Setup And Operation
Scope
This
one-day seminar demonstrates the installation and operation of the Grayson
Electronics GMT20TX test transmitter and Wireless Measurement Instrument using SpectrumTracker
software for measurement data collection. It demonstrates all key product
features and user techniques. At the conclusion of this presentation, users
should be able to set up test transmitters, collect mobile propagation data,
and perform basic checks to verify the integrity of the collected data. Other courses in this series explain the
principles and techniques used in interpretation and analysis of the collected
data, and considerations for selecting final sites from available candidate locations
based on data analysis.
Target Audience
Engineers
and technicians responsible for initial RF system design, System Growth RF
Engineering, and/or CDMA System Performance Optimization.
Course Presentation Setting and Methods
This course
requires both a classroom setting and a vehicle for drive-test demonstrations.
Hardware is introduced in the classroom, then installed by the class
participants at a friendly site and test vehicle. All class members participate
in test site setup and demonstration test drives for first-hand familiarity
with principles, techniques, and procedures. Collected data is examined in a
“post-mortem” at the conclusion of class.
