TETRA Air Interface


2 Days / 4 Live Online Sessions (0900-1230) / Technical Level: Level 3

Course Code: MB2601

Course Summary

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.

Who would benefit

Those working or involved in PMR or PAMR requiring a detailed understanding of the TETRA air interface.

Prerequisites

Familiarity with the architecture and general operation of a TETRA network, or previous attendance on the TETRA System Overview course (TR1302).
