  • Microwave Engineering Masterclass [Online short course] August 2025

    Online , Australia

    Learn how to Plan, Design and Operate Radio Networks.



    Book your spot now >>



    Microwave radio as a technology has been around for decades, but over the years it has transitioned from analogue to digital transmission systems together and we have seen huge advances in equipment characteristics. This mix of old and new has resulted in a lot of confusion, with this course unravelling the mysteries of these multiple industry myths.

    At the end of this course, you will understand the overall microwave market with an update on current and future developments, including how to apply the latest planning standards.

    Microwave propagation is still analogue, and an in-depth understanding of microwave propagation and the various fading effects from weather variations is essential to designing, operating and maintaining a stable network. The new hardware improvements and features will be covered, as well as an in-depth look at antennas and the effects of interference in a digital network.

    There are lots of opportunities to apply the theory with practical examples and tutorials using a training calculator that has all the basic formulas that are embedded in industry planning software tools. This allows the participants to understand the input parameters to industry planning tools plus what the output sheets really mean.

    Course delivery: Online
    Date: 25 – 29 August 2025
    Time: 10.00 am – 12.30 pm AEST
    Duration: 5 x 2.5hr sessions (12.5hrs total)
