2-Day Course

Bird^® Electronic Corporation offers specialized training for all of its Site Analyzer^® (SA) family of products from the SA-1700EX, 1700-EXP, SA-2500EX and SA-6000EX. Bird has expanded the number of tools available for use in maximizing system uptime. Bird Site Analyzers^® are an easy to operate, user friendly solution for installers and maintenance technicians, and for troubleshooting even the most complex antenna and feed line systems. The Site Analyzer provides sweep and match data, showing VSWR, Return Loss, or Cable Loss (Insertion Loss) depending upon the users preference, as well as distance to fault measurement for system repair and maintenance. The SA may be used with the Bird Digital Power Sensor Model 5010B in-line or the Bird Terminating Power Sensor Model 5011 series for RF Power Measurements. When connected to the Bird Wide Band Power Sensor Model 5012, the SA will provide accurate power measurement in very complex modulation types by making specific measurements such as peak power, burst average power, crest factor and CCDF.

 

Topics will include basic RF theory, site overview and operation, equipment set-up and use, test and measurement of feed line and antenna system characteristics, and documentation and report analysis. The course is designed to accommodate user‘s across a variety of applications.

 

Attendees should include: Cell Site Managers, Site Technicians, Field Engineers, Site Installers, Cell Carriers, Construction Companies

 

Course Structure:

A full class outline and schedule are included, but much of the training centers on a practical, real-world approach to line sweeping and distance to fault measurement. Class time will include hands-on use of the Site Analyzer with actual equipment that would be installed on site. Troubleshooting and distance to fault measurement will be used to find faulty and failed equipment. Training may be customized to fit the needs of those attending.

 

Certification:

Upon completion of training, each participant will receive Site Analyzer certification, issued by the Bird Electronic Corporation, that shows the participant has acquired the skills and understanding to successfully operate the Bird Site Analyzer under the field conditions covered by the course. Site Analyzer Certification will require attendance at lecture sections and during hands-on practical applications. Testing of knowledge-edge and skill will be part of the certification process.

 

Non-Certification Course:

Non-certification class also available which does not include testing, but does offer familiarization training with the products and processes. Good for those needing an overview or refresher, but not in depth operational training.
