Learning outcomes
|
The course is an introduction to the study of communication technology. Students will get acquainted with the basic principles of data and information transmission using different transmission paths, the way of their expression and their quantification. The course begins with an introduction to the issue of standardization in the field of telecommunications, the institutions responsible for the standards corresponding and the allocation of frequency bands for various types of transmission. The next part of the course is focused on the telecommunication chain and the description of creating a signal suitable for transmission. In other parts of the course, the parameters and characteristics of general and data signals are analyzed, their creation in terms of suitable properties for transmission. The next part of the course is devoted to individual types of transmission paths (metallic, optical, radio) and pulse modulation. The last part of the course is devoted to source and channel coding, i.e. modifying information before transmission and securing messages against misinterpretation.
The students acquire theoretically and practise knowledge and skills of data transmission through metallic transmission lines, data codding and pulse modulation.
