Learn about Digital Land Mobile Radio (LMR) Standards and Technology.
This course introduces the student to the digital land mobile radio (LMR) standards and technology. Modules include an overview of digital radio standards as a transmission media including the different standards, modulation, and vocoders. Each of the respective digital standards will be investigated.
The information is introductory in nature and designed for all audiences, however a basic understanding of radio communications would be beneficial. This course is designed for students (individual) who are new to the radio/critical communication industry.
