Sammendrag
This article is a Master thesis as part of the study program Automation and Signal
Processing at the University of Stavanger, carried out during the spring of 2018. The
thesis has been performed with close cooperation with Tampnet, a telecommunications
company based in Stavanger, Norway, which specializes in high capacity, offshore
communications. The idea for this thesis came out of the need for a single compilation
of environmental factors affecting offshore communication systems. There was also
a demand for an introductory piece on line-of-sight (LOS) radio links and Long-Term
Evolution (LTE) technology for the employees of the network operations centre (NOC),
which is what this thesis provides. This thesis consists of introductory elements to subjects
such as wireless communication, environmental fading, interference, radio propagation,
fixed communication systems and mobile communication systems. It also
includes a section on some common difficulties related to the offshore environments
such as tidal variations and multipath fading due to ocean reflections. These examples
are supplemented with real-time data collected over years by the Tampnet NOC.
The end result of the thesis as a whole is a ground-levelled preparatory collection to
high-end courses within the field of radioelectric telecommunication.
