Satellite Communication Systems Training Course
Short course (Belgium) by European Space Agency (ESA) · Free · Current
Living in a world without global connectivity seems nowadays unlikely, just think about how big secure communication, satellite broadcasting, search and rescue and mobile networks are. Satellite Communication technologies empower us to navigate with precision, explore the cosmos, monitor Earth's changes, provide healthcare remotely, optimize transportation logistics, disseminate knowledge widely, and ultimately propel innovation and societal progress across multifaceted dimensions. It is of utmost importance to foster a more resilient and safer connectivity system for the Europe of tomorrow. Through lectures and short exercises, students will learn about topics such as End-to-End Satellite Communication Systems Principles, Antenna Systems, Telecommunications Market, Optical Systems and Technologies, and Satellite Communication Applications. They will also have the opportunity to have a guided tour of the ESEC in Redu and will thus be able to figure out what they have learned on-site.

Core Skills For Mobile Satellite Terminal Operators
Short course (Online) by GSOA · Part of membership package $348/year (~£279) · Current
In this course you will learn how to use pointing angles (az and el) to decide where your antenna should be placed for a clear view to the satellite. You will also learn basic concepts and troubleshooting, such as the effect of rain, how to check your equipment, the importance of interference prevention, and how to tell if your equipment qualifies as GVF Type Approved.
GPS Operations: DGPS, GPS Signals and Processing
Short course (Online) by NavtechGPS · $2899 (~£2320) · Current
This 3-day course skips the fundamentals altogether and dives right into a discussion of differential GPS, which continues throughout the week, together with an in-depth look at GPS signal processing, navigation message content, code tracking and receivers and concludes with Kalman filtering basics.
Applied Kalman Filtering with Emphasis on GPS Aided Systems
Short course (Varies and USA) by NavtechGPS · POA · Current
This is a highly intensive 4-day short course on Kalman filtering theory and Kalman filtering applications. Included is a discussion of linear, extended, unscented, and square root Kalman filters and their practical applications to real-time strapdown navigation and target tracking. Exposure to Information filters, 2nd and 3rd order extended Kalman filters, particle filters, integrity monitoring, and methods of smoothing is included. Emphasis is on practical applications, but sufficient supporting theory is provided for further research. Designed for engineers who need a working knowledge of Kalman filtering or who work in the fields of navigation or target tracking.
RF And DC Theory For Satellite Systems
Short course (Online) by GSOA · Part of membership package $348/year (~£279) · Current
Covers DC theory (Ohm's law, loop resistance, voltage drops), gains, losses, levels, and dB, cables and connectors (including VSWR, return loss, cable types, and connector attachment), and standard RF components, such as attenuators, amplifiers, splitters, couplers, taps, and power inserters, and grounding and discharge protection.
GPS/GNSS Operation for Engineers and Technical Professionals: Principles, Technology, Applications and Intro to DGPS Concepts
Short course (Online) by NavtechGPS · $2899 (~£2320) · Current
This is a technical foundation course. During this four-day course, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of GPS/GNSS system concepts, design and operation, including information on GPS signal processing by the receiver, techniques by which GPS obtains position, velocity and time, code tracking, antennas, receiver impairments and enhancements, nav algorithms, and an introduction to differential GPS (DGPS) and Kalman filtering, to bring you quickly up to speed on GNSS operation.
