10 Training Calendar | Spectrum Management & Monitoring

Training FocusThe radio spectrum is a limited resource that is shared between

dierent systems, operators and nations. It is the task o a

Regulatory Authority to manage the radio spectrum in a way

that its use is optimised to the beneft o all. For this policies

or the access and the usage o spectrum have to be defned

while considering national and international regulations. Also

technical and economical constraints arising rom the intended

spectrum usage have to be ulflled.

The training “Strategies or Modern Spectrum Management”

introduces state o the art approaches and methods used tomanage spectrum. Following an introduction to the interna-

tional ramework and the terminology defned by the Radio

Regulations dierent strategies are discussed. The training

covers the classical command and control approach as well as

recent tendencies like spectrum trading. Topics like technol-

ogy neutral defnition o licenses, dynamic spectrum usage,

cross border coordination methods, and approaches or

licensing and spectrum pricing completes the seminar.

Course ObjectivesAter the training the participants will understand the current

international ramework built by the radio regulations and the

ideas and strategies behind dierent approaches to manage

the radio spectrum.

Technical Issues ofRadio Spectrum ManagementTraining FocusThe goal o spectrum management is to avoid harmul interer-

ence between radio stations. For this dierent procedures are

used. These procedures are based on regulatory requirements

and have to consider physical and technical limitations o radio

technology. Thus spectrum managers have to understand the

impact o technology to optimise the use o the radio requency

spectrum.

The seminar introduces to dierent physical and technical

aspects o spectrum management and explains how analyses

during intererence and coordinating calculations are done.

For technical basics like wave propagation, modulation schemes

and propagation modelling are reviewed. In a second step

typical coordination procedures or dierent radio services

like Broadcast and LandMobile are detailed, and calculations

and technical possibilities to avoid harmul intererences are

introduced. A separate section gives insight into radio monitor-

ing and spectrum scanning techniques.

DVB-T2 – 2nd Generation DigitalVideo Broadcast

RecommendationsITU-R P.1546 - 1812

Training FocusThis training course is dedicated to all the people working

within the broadcast branch with interest o uture develop-

ment in terrestrial broadcasting. The participants will become

amiliar with the requirements, new eatures and consequences

o DVB-T2 like a 30% to 60% higher data rate, which makes it to

the candidate or introducing terrestrial HDTV or the possibility

o more extended single requency networks (SFN) compared

to DVB-T.

Course ObjectivesThis seminar explains the technology behind DVB-T2, startingwith its predecessor DVB-T. A urther part o the seminar will

give the participants a basic guidance on planning a DVB-T2

network.


PrerequisitesBasic knowledge o radio communications technology.

Training FocusDuring the last years the recommendation ITU-R P.1546 has

been well established. It has mainly replaced the “old” recom-

mendation ITU-R P.370 by passing a long and di fcult process

o changes and corrections. Nevertheless, there are still dis-

cussion points about the details in calculating feld strength

values inside these processes.

Taking into account the act that the ITU-R P.1546 is only a

coordination model based on statistical methods and feld

strength curves measured a long time ago, the idea came up to

develop a real physical model using complex path calculation

methods. So the ITU- R P.1812 was born and since then, similar

to the ITU-R P.1546, a long and hard process o collecting input

and discussions about corrections started.

Both recommendations have to be seen under di erent points

o views. A pure coordination model (ITU-R P.1546) based on

measurements on the one hand and a physical model (ITU-R

P.1812) taking into account real di raction eects on the other

hand. Knowing details about both recommendations is a un -

damental need or people dealing with broadcast planning and

coordination.

Course ObjectivesThe goal o this training is to get an overview o both recom-

mendations. Furthermore, or the most important unctionali-

ties a detailed knowledge will be imparted. The participants

will get the theoretical background as well as exercises or a

better understanding.
