Course Code: MB2601
This course provides a detailed description of the key aspects of the radio link between a TETRA mobile and a TETRA base station. V+D and Release 2 are covered in detail. The course includes higher-layer signalling, protocol interactions and media processing aspects as well as lower-layer functions such as modulation, radio performance and channel coding.
Those working or involved in PMR or PAMR requiring a detailed understanding of the TETRA air interface.
Familiarity with the architecture and general operation of a TETRA network, or previous attendance on the TETRA System Overview course (TR1302).
