Microwave Transmission Fundamentals
Microwave Transmission Fundamentals is a practical online course that teaches you how to design, deploy, and support point-to-point microwave links in real networks. You’ll cover topology and path planning (LOS/Fresnel), link budgets (fade margin and availability), capacity and ACM behaviour, antennas/polarisation, installation best practice, and evidence-based troubleshooting using KPIs like RSL, CINR/SNR, MCS, errors, utilisation, and alarms.
It’s built around real operational scenarios (rings, spurs, multi-hop) including weather and propagation impacts, interference, and step-down throughput during fades.
Enrol now to build the skills to plan, install, and troubleshoot microwave links with confidence.
What you will learn
- Where microwave fits: backhaul, access, rings, spurs, multi-hop
- What makes a path reliable: LOS, Fresnel clearance, FSPL, obstructions
- Link budgets in the real world: fade margin and availability targets
- Capacity and ACM: bandwidth, modulation changes, step-down throughput
- Uptime improvements: space, frequency, and polarisation diversity
- Antennas and alignment: gain/beamwidth, side lobes, why accuracy matters
- Alignment method: coarse → peak → verify → lock down (RSL vs CINR)
- Install quality: mounts, weatherproofing, cabling, grounding, DC power
- Ethernet integration: handoff, VLANs, MTU, basic QoS, timing overview
- Ops skills: monitoring baselines, alarms, fault patterns, evidence packs
- As-builts and handover: docs that support long-term maintenance
