, the manufactureris responsible for the type approval of the sold system. If the system is custom made or ismanufactured in a university laboratory, the specifications should be extracted or measured usinghigh precision tools. Most manufacturers and universities outsource them. Average cost of thetest is around 6000 $ and makes these measurements expensive. The required system data arealready covered in most Communications System and Circuits courses2020,21.Some of these technical characteristics such as protection ratios and power spectral densities canmake significant effect on interference level and propagation model. Among device data, antennahas an important effect. To provide this data, frequency users should learn the fundamental of

, equipment, and laboratories are consideredto be a function of the number of positions allocated to engineering education. In the currentmodel we do not consider the quality of students as an input.Each institution is assumed to have an objective (output) that is a combination of the number ofBS degrees, MS degrees, PhD degrees, and amount of externally funded research. Someprograms may have an undergraduate emphasis, other have a focus on professional mastersprograms, while others emphasize PhDs and funded research.Data envelopment analysisTo compare schools (or any systems) with each other, in terms of efficiency, there are somenumeric methods are useful in determining efficiency.
