Spectrum Monitoring for Critical Missions

Radio spectrum use has dramatically evolved over the past 30 years. Digital broadcast, Wi-Fi hotspots, IoT, 4G and soon 5G cellular networks comes with the need for spectrum monitoring capable of detecting and locating short-duration, low power, broadband devices using complex modulation. Awareness of spectrum use, occupancy statistics, field strength from different locations and interference detection and location are a few of the mission critical tasks of spectrum monitoring. 

Concepts such as TDOA, RSS, coherent detection, energy history database, distributed sensor network planning, signal classification and geo-location will be covered. 

This session will consist of theory and practice with a live demo. It will be of interest to government agencies, corporate spectrum/frequency managers, satellite system operators and RF engineers interesting in spectrum management.
