Line and Antenna Sweep
Presented by Jay Thompson, CETsr, Trainer, Dover Telecommunications Services
Monday, March 4 & Tuesday, March 5 * 9:00 am – 5:00 pm
| Course Description | Certification |
|---|---|
| This is a multi-day course that takes place on Monday and Tuesday. Line and Antenna Sweep (LAS) testing has been with us for more than 50 years but it was primarily lab based. Handheld units now bring line sweeping into the field at a technician level. Carrier and equipment manufacturers develop installation Methods of Procedures to ensure every decibel of signal strength is maximized in the increasingly crowded RF spectrum. Line and antenna sweeping are critical tests for the installation, maintenance and troubleshooting of antenna components and networks. The course is about moving beyond a simple wattmeter test when installing or maintaining any antenna system. A review of decibels, Return Loss and VSWR along with the standard tests used for LAS will be covered. Many examples will be presented and hands on exercises will be conducted to ensure students are prepared to better understand antenna systems. The instructor for this class is Jay Thompson, CETsr.

Avoiding Common Fiber Field Problems
Presented by Lee Kellett, Light Brigade
Date/Time TBD
| Session Description |

Basic Antenna Theory – Converting Electrical Energy into Electromagnetic Energy
Presented by William Bailey
Date/Time TBD
| Session Description |
|---|
| The efficiency and effectiveness of any wireless communication system will depend greatly upon antenna performance. Simply put, an antenna is a device capable of transitioning electrical energy into electromagnetic energy, but in either direction. The antenna creates a vital link between internal signal processing and free space propagation. This short course, therefore, will provide both technicians and managers working with wireless communication systems the insight needed to understand and evaluate antenna performance. Topics of discussion – basic principle of electromagnetic radiation and induction; antenna characteristics (including resonance, gain, reciprocity, polarization); radiation resistance (ground effect, electric vs. physical length, radiated power); antenna feed-lines (resonant/non-resonant, impedance, and loading effects); and common antenna configuration and applications (half-wave dipole, monopole, arrays, and microwave antenna). Participants will acquire a sound understanding of basic antenna theory. |
Measuring Transmission Line Quality Prior to and During Installation on Towers
Presented by Tom Brinkoetter, RadioSiteTest
Date/Time TBD
| Session Description |
|---|
The quality of the transmission line cable on a tower or DAS system is critical to the performance of the system. Solid conductor hardline cable is often used as it reduces loss, PIM and leakage. But hard line cable is easily damaged as it is spooled in the factory, cut to custom length and re-spooled by distributors, shipped and installed. The cost of installing hard line cable can approach the cost of the cable itself. If defective cable is installed, the cost of replacement project delay can be significant. It makes good business sense to test the cable as it arrives at the job site and also test the cable as it is installed. This session talks about the tools and methods to easily and accurately test raw spools of cable. |
Evolution of Mount Analysis: Effects of TIA Rev H and TIA-5053
Presented by Luke Ferguson, Valmont Site Pro 1
Date/Time TBD
| Session Description |
|---|
The first wave of large LTE antennas in 2013 was when the industry first recognized a widespread need for antenna mount analysis. Prior to this time, mount analysis was virtually unheard of. Since 2013, the antenna size has drastically increased, which has led to mount failures. TIA Rev G did address this issue by stating that mounts need to be analyzed, but it wasn’t until the recent release of TIA Rev H that there has been an entire chapter dedicated to mount analysis. TIA-5053 is making it easier to compare mount capacities by providing a standard method to classify a mount. Both of these codes are working to increase the prevalence and accuracy of mount analysis in our industry.Now we have a standard method to rate a mount, but analysis methods still vary greatly in the industry. Analysis assumptions can change the rated mount capacity as much as 100%. The upcoming TIA Mount Analysis White Paper will be a way to streamline this process and ensure that everyone is looking at the mounts equally. For example, we have found that tieback orientation and leg connections have a huge impact on the capacity of a mount. Our research has shown that tieback orientation can affect the strength of a mount as much as 20 percent. The new tieback information we are providing to carriers and engineering firms will make it easier to take tieback orientation into considerations when looking at a mount. Overall, I will discuss what everyone should know about TIA Rev H and TIA 5053 and give a sneak peek at what is happening with the TIA Mount Analysis White Paper team. Ultimately, all of this new information will help set a standard to ensure that new mounts being installed today will be able to handle whatever is thrown at them over the next 15 years or more. |

Education Forum Keynote - 5G and the Fourth Industrial Revolution
Patrick McNerney, Chief Operating Officer, 3D Design & Engineering
5G and the Fourth Industrial Revolution are right around the corner, in fact, the wheels are already in motion. Smart Cities, self-driving cars, robotics, artificial intelligence, and connectivity on a scale previously unimaginable will be here before we know it. 5G is not limited to faster speeds and a few new chic consumer technologies, but rather a complete paradigm shift in our society and how we interact with technology. Business operations, our personal relationships, and even the methods in which countries govern themselves will be impacted. The possibilities are nearly limitless.
But first, our industry has the daunting task of getting our infrastructure there. This is already happening with many cities running trials or full roll-outs of 5G. There is a lot that must be done to set the foundation for 5G and it is going to take trained technicians, engineers, site acquisition specialist, carriers, municipalities, and OEMs collaborating to make it happen. Hundreds of thousands of miles of fiber backhaul, the build out of ultra-dense networks, and upgrading existing macro site technologies are an example of some of the work that is ongoing. How will 5G impact the ICT sector, and more importantly what do these changes mean for those who work in the telecommunications industry?
We have the answers to some of those questions and will speculate on others. Let’s discuss this exciting new wave of technology, its impact on end users, and the personnel in our industry.

See What Others Are Saying About The Eduation Forum
“I found the networking aspect to be the most valuable aspect of having Education Forum in conjuncture with IWCE. I took the Microwave Radio Technician class because in the county that I work for, we recently installed new microwaves and it became evident that we needed to learn more about them. The instructor was incredibly knowledgeable and engaged the class by asking about our system configurations, which made the material relatable.”
Jamin Howell, Wireless Communications & Network Technician, Flathead Emergency Communications Center
“The Mobile Communications and Electronics Installer instructor was great. He was knowledgeable and engaged the students. He focused on what we asked him to and it has already helped me with troubleshooting some radio problems I was working on here.”
Alipio Mondragon, FOI, MCEI, Traffic Manager, Los Alamos County
“This training taught me new ways to efficiently do my job and will open the door to greater opportunities. It is well worth the money and time!”
Roger Hopp, MCEI, Radio Technician, City of Cleveland Ohio
"Our area is experiencing an increase in DAS installs and we need all of the training we can get! It is a definite necessity for our upcoming jobs...i would call it job security, for sure! Dane (Brockmiller) did an excellent job cramming a week’s worth of information into two days. ETA’s concerns for the trainers as well as the trainees was very evident."
Vance Parker, CETa, DAS, Senior Technician, White Cloud Communications
“The instructor taught us practical applications of the material and provided me with more knowledge when it comes to installation of DAS systems.”
