What will I learn?
This hands-on course equips you with tools to design and optimise microwave links confidently. Review wave basics, free-space path loss, link budgets, and antenna gain, then use them in real rooftop setups. Handle multipath, Fresnel zones, diffraction, urban obstacles, weather, and atmospheric losses. Select antennas, polarisation, and diversity for dependable connections in tough environments.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Design microwave link budgets by balancing power, free-space path loss, margins, and sensitivity.
- Optimise antennas by selecting type, gain, height, and polarisation for strong links.
- Analyse multipath and fading using Fresnel zones, diffraction, and diversity techniques.
- Quantify atmospheric and urban losses by integrating real-world attenuation into link designs.
- Choose carrier frequency by trading off propagation, hardware size, and regulations.
