Installer Technician
Course Overview
The NCTI Installer Technician course focuses on maintaining reliability in the installed drop system. The electronic theory provides the foundation for understanding decibels, signal leakage detection, and troubleshooting techniques. A basic mathematics review helps the student with equations and formulas relating to fundamental electronic theory and signal level. Signal leakage can cause significant problems for cable systems, and various topics on detecting and troubleshooting signal leakage in the VHF and UHF frequency bands, including LTE frequencies, are presented. Students are provided with the basic characteristics and functions of digital signal analyzers, critical test instruments used today to develop and test radio frequency (RF), electronic circuit design, manufacturing, installation, field repair, and more. As the rules and regulations governing the broadband cable industry continue to impact cable operators and customers, the student benefits from in-depth details of government regulations and ways to comply with industry rules.
