One-day intensive course: Fundamentals of radio monitoring – theory and practice
Theoretical part:
Fundamentals of radio monitoring:
Analysis of RTR, RER, REB – their goals, objectives, similarities and differences.
Simple radio monitoring tools:
Overview of devices (Tsukorok, TyniSA Ultra, basic kit).
How they work, their technical characteristics, capabilities, and equipment.
Advantages and disadvantages of each device, application features.
Spectra and frequencies:
Theoretical and practical aspects of working with different frequency bands.
Methods of searching for signals, what spectrograms look like.
Antennas:
Types of antennas (directional and circular), their application for various radio monitoring devices.
Main characteristics: standing wave ratio (SWR), radiation pattern, signal gain.
Practical part
Radio monitoring:
Using the TyniSA Ultra spectrum analyser and the basic kit to work in the UHF, VHF, 700-1100 MHz, 1.2, 2.4, 5.8 GHz bands and satellite navigation frequencies.
Signal analysis:
Study of spectrograms of various sources (Wi-Fi, DJI Mavic, REB in the defined bands, VTX at 1.2 and 5.8 GHz).
Direction finding:
Determining the direction to a signal source using directional antennas. This intensive course will allow participants to gain basic theoretical knowledge and practical skills in working with radio monitoring equipment.
Upon completion of the course, cadets receive a certificate of FPV drone engineer and are able to maintain and repair drones in combat conditions.
