Antenna 101
Telecom is a rapidly growing and changing industry. Therefore it’s critical for all employees to have an overall understanding of today’s antenna technologies. This course is designed for non-engineering workers and will enable them to better understand not only the field for which they work but also how to work more safely. All Antennas produce RF, and it’s imperative to know what frequencies employees are exposed too. Did you know the MPE safety requirements are based on frequency and the relationship of the wavelength to the body or its parts?
This course will cover basic rules such as “the Higher the frequency the shorter the wavelength”. It will also include how antennas work, antenna gain, beam width, loss, wavelength, and frequency. Several individual types of antennas will be explained including: panels, dish, beams, FM, TV< STL, microwave, Yagi, LTE, PCS, 4G, and cellular. This class is imperative for any telecom worker and will give them clearer insight into the technologies of their industry. back to top
