Meeting Topic:
TIA TSB 10-G: An Update to TIA TSB 10-F for the Fixed Microwave Service
The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) Telecommunications Systems Bulletin 10-F (TSB-10F), adopted in 1994, was initially established to support since deprecated FCC Rule Parts 94 and 21 (common carrier). Coverage included flat fading analog and digital systems as well as radio paths not dominated by rain fading. After its adoption, Parts 94 and 21 were merged into a new Part 101. Also digital radio systems became dominant radio applications and evolved beyond applications covered by TSB 10-F.
The new TSB-10G will become an official ANSI standard and will address many now-common technological advancements applicable to microwave engineering.
The presentation will cover enhancements of microwave interference criteria described in the new standard.
About the presenter:
George Kizer began his microwave radio career in the U.S. Air Force. He was a communications officer leading a Scope Creek team of senior Air Force technicians around the world evaluating Department of Defense (DoD) fixed point-to-point microwave radio communication links. After his service in the Air Force, he joined the DoD as a civil servant and became the microwave radio systems engineer for the Digital European Backbone, the first DoD digital microwave radio system. George later worked for Alcatel-Lucent, Alcatel USA, Collins Transmission Systems Division of Rockwell International and Collins Radio Company. While at Rockwell and Alcatel, George served as Systems Engineer (primarily overseas microwave projects), Program Manager (various long-haul and turn-key microwave projects), and Product Manager of network management and fixed point-to-point microwave radio products. George authored the books Digital Microwave Communication, Microwave Communications and the chapter “Microwave Radio Communication” in Handbook of Microwave Technology.
