2231 Wireless Fundamentals
$119

Wireless Fundamentals is the first course in the CWA Certification Package.

We begin with the fundamentals: what radio is, how it's organized and how and it's used to communicate information. Since most systems are digital, we spend time understanding how modems represent 1s and 0s on radio, and explain jargon like QAM and QPSK. We finish with propagation, penetration then fading.

Course Lessons
1. Introduction to CWA
2. Radio Fundamentals
3. Wireless Spectrum and Radio Bands
4. Analog Radio 
5. Digital Radio: How Modems Work
6. Propagation, Penetration and Fading

Based on Teracom's instructor-led training, tuned and refined over the course of over 20 years, you will gain career- and productivity-enhancing fundamentals in radio - what it is, how it works, what the main technologies are and more.
