COURSE CONTENT
This 3-day course gives participants the knowledge of rules and regulations for the utilisation of the Radio Spectrum.
Methods for analysis, planning and coordination of radio systems in order to achieve required performance within the system are discussed, as well as precautions to avoid interfering with collocated radio systems.
International and national bodies and regulations are presented. International agreements for coordination are discussed.
Central subjects include coverage, availability and interference issues in Radio Spectrum Management.
An overview of radio wave propagation and characteristic radio system properties in different frequency ranges is presented. Radio wave propagation causing over-range and interference is discussed.
Methods for planning and coordination of point-to-point, point-to-multipoint and area covering radio networks to achieve performance targets and spectral efficiency are covered.
Application demonstrations using software for radio spectrum management will be conducted under instructor supervision.
To benefit most, participants should bring a laptop computer with Windows Vista SP2/Windows 7 SP1/Windows 8/Windows 10 operating system for installation of the software WRAP.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
The course is intended for engineers and radio spectrum managers working with radio communications with a need to know about regulations for the utilisation of the radio spectrum and methods for analysis, planning and coordination of radio systems in order to achieve required performance within the system without interfering with other radio systems.

011 Digital Signal Analysis Techniques: Time, Frequency, and Spatial Algorithms
Location: Barcelona, Spain Date: April 13 - April 15, 2026 Duration: 3 days
Instructors: Professor Gonzalo Seco-Granados and Professor José A. López-Salcedo
This 3-day course that goes beyond available textbooks and extends these signal analysis tools to higher dimensions and multiple sensor channel. Conventional tools for analyzing and extracting the feature content of signals are filters (time content), Fourier transforms (frequency content) and beamforming (spatial content). Alternative tools to these conventional techniques are able to produce signal analysis results with finer temporal detail and higher spectral and spatial resolution.

058 Modern Digital Modulation Techniques for Wireless, Satellite, and Wireline Communications – 5G and Beyond
Location: Barcelona, Spain Date: April 13-17, 2026 Duration: 5 days
Instructor: Professor Irving Kalet
The goal of this course is to introduce the participant to those digital modulation methods and multiple access techniques presently in use in mobile wireless (e.g.,5G-NR), broadband wireless(e.g.,Wi-Fi6), cable, satellite, deep-space and wireline (and power-line) communications, as well as to those techniques, which are being considered for future or next generation systems, e.g., 6G, and Wi-Fi 7.
Modern digital modulation and multiple access techniques are basic building blocks of the physical (or radio) interface of all digital communication systems. We will describe many of these techniques during the course including those methods, which are being used in the newest systems including the Fifth Generation (5G-NR) cellular system, as well as ideas for modulations for 6G.
Objective:
- Learning about OFDM -based systems including OFDM, OFDMA, S-OFDMA, and SC-FDMA, which are integral parts of 5G-NR, 4G-LTE and the IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi) systems.
- Emphasis on the new modulation standard for the physical interface of 5G-NR. This OFDM standard is based on scalable subcarrier spacing.
- Discuss other modulations, such as “Faster Than Nyquist” (FTN) signaling, which are being considered for advanced wireless systems. Many of the modulations have been combined with MIMO, Massive MIMO, and BLAST, to improve spectral efficiency.
- Describe the use of constant-envelope CPM modulations (e.g., GMSK), especially for present and future broadband wireless communications and space communications. All of the modulations have been, and will be, utilized in mobile and broadband wireless systems, as well as in xDSL systems, to greatly improve both bandwidth and power efficiency.
- Discussion of one of the most important topics in communications, Shannon Information Theory.
