3/4G Wireless WCDMA/UMTS network engineering curriculum builds on the foundation laid in our core curriculum and addresses the needs of those needing to engineer WCDMA networks...Learn More
Curriculum: An evolving WCDMA curriculum that builds on the strong foundation laid in our core wireless engineering curriculum (DOC). It combines the essential theory with the field know-how captured from over two decades of LCC’s worldwide design and deployment experience.
Audience: This curriculum is aimed at RF engineers who have completed our core wireless engineering curriculum (DOC) or are otherwise experienced in the design and optimization of 2G/2.5G networks and who need to upgrade their knowledge and skills to be able to engineer the emerging WCDMA networks.
Prerequisites: A bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or equivalent preparation in communications, electromagnetics, Mathematics (such as differential equations, probability, and statistics), and the engineering design principles, followed by substantial 2G/2.5G network design experience.

Curriculum Recommendations: Non-engineering professionalsand managers who wish to deepen their understanding of WCDMA should consider taking Understanding Wireless: State-of-the-Art and Emerging 2.5G/3G Technologies (X-WIRELESS101) followed by Understanding GSM (X-GSM101) and Understanding the Emerging 2.5G/3G Technologies (X-2.5/3G101).
Engineering professionals should consider taking Wireless: Emerging Technologies (W/ET) curriculum or certificate with concentration in WCDMA. Please refer to page 8 for details.
