Practical Guide to RF testing Secure Radios (Webinar | Online)
Adoption of software defined radio architecture for secure communications is enabling armed and public safety forces to raise their situational awareness, using more capable, interoperable, secure and robust radios. However, radios have also increased in complexity and reliability requirements, obliging manufacturers and operators to invest in new design methodologies and develop a much more exhaustive multidomain testing procedure. In this first part of the webinar we will focus on the main radiofrequency testing procedures that one can carry on with a one box radio tester such the CMA180 or the CMA-XRT100. We will learn basic concepts and evidence with real radios how to operate these instruments to execute transmit and…
