Learning outcomes
The course is an introduction to the study of communication technology. Students will learn the basic principles of data and information transmission using different transmission paths, how to express and quantify them. The course begins with an introduction to the issues of standardization in telecommunications, the institutions responsible for standards of the corresponding and the allocation of frequency bands for different types of transmission. This is followed by a diagram of the telecommunications chain and a description of the generation of 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 characteristics for transmission. The following part of the course is devoted to the different types of transmission paths (metallic, optical, radio) and pulse modulations. The last part of the course is devoted to source and channel coding, i.e. modifying information before transmission and securing messages against misinterpretation.
After completing the course, the student masters the issues in the field of data transmission mainly over metallic lines and can describe all parts of the communication chain. He/she is oriented in the topics of the relationship between time and frequency representation of signals, pulse modulations, multiplexing.
Prerequisites
Mathematical calculus at the technical university graduates level

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination, Written examination

During the semester and in the final exam, the student must demonstrate an understanding of the solved problems. The specific requirements will be communicated to the students by the teacher in the first week of the semester.
