Duration: 22 Hours
Description
Our 5G Air Interface training course provides a comprehensive technical overview of the air interface for the 5G New Radio (5G NR). This course delves into the principles of millimetre wave and multiple antenna communications, the architecture and implementation of the air interface's physical layer, as well as the higher layer air interface protocols and signalling procedures for both idle and active 5G devices. Ideal for engineers and professionals involved in equipment design, operation, optimization, or monitoring on the 5G air interface, this course assumes an engineering background with some knowledge of general radio principles and digital radio systems. While a basic understanding of 5G and experience with LTE radio systems are desirable, they are not mandatory prerequisites.
In addition our course covers a range of topic areas including 5G introduction, use cases, and standardization, radio spectrum and millimetre wave communications, principles and implementation of multiple antennas in 5G, and more. For those looking to deepen their understanding further, we also offer an optional 5G Virtual Lab Module where participants can explore, test, optimize, and troubleshoot the 5G system in a fully emulated environment.
This self-paced on-demand distance learning course features illustrated course books, videos, tests and full tutor support.
