Course content
Signals in communication: Summary, Orthogonal base signal decomposition. Bandpass random signals. Communication channel and its architecture: Modulation, source and channel coding, synchronisation and equalisation. Modulators: linearity, stationarity, structure - the discrete and expansion parts. Modulation: linear memoryless modulation, modulation with memory, non-linear modulation, PAM, ASK, PSK, QAM, FSK Communication channel characteristics, channel operator, time dependence, linearity. Channel basic models: additive chan. with the Gauss noise, linear non-selective and selective chan., nonlinear chan., random channel. Spread spectrum communication, multicarrier communication. Multiplex and bulk access systems.

Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Dialogic (discussion, interview, brainstorming), Methods of individual activities
Learning outcomes
The subject aim is to providee students with a theoretical base needed for understanding and further study of communication systems and subjects, dealing with signal processing in communication and control systems.
Student will get an insight in modulation, demodulation and detection methods used in communication needed for the further study of signal transport and proccessing in communication.
Prerequisites
Differential and integral calculus, probability and statistics theory, theory of signals and systems, electrical circuits, communication technology.

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination, Written examination, Home assignment evaluation

Attendance at laboratory and PC excercises, laboratory protocols and computer excercices results according to the assistant instructions.
