Audience

This course meets the training needs of individuals responsible for engineering, operating, maintaining and planning point-to-point microwave radio systems. It is primarily designed for technical professionals who do not have a formal electrical engineering education. The discussions and presentations will begin with fundamentals and extend to more advanced topics. Electrical engineers will still benefit in that the course material will complement traditional theory. Some previous familiarity with general telecommunications terms and basic algebra would be helpful, but not essential to benefit.
