Learning outcomes
|
The course is focused on architecture, principles of operation and components of the radio communication chain. In the first part, students will analyze in detail the function of radio receivers, especially its concepts and properties, linear and nonlinear distortion, the properties of oscillators that are used in the receiver block, as well as the principle of basic demodulation. The next part is devoted to the transmitter block, especially its structure and properties, the implementation of the power output stage and nonlinear distortion and its suppression. The last part is focused on software-defined radio, its structure, distortion correction and digital pre-distortion.
After completing the course, the student knows the architecture and elements of the receiving part of the communication chain, can analyze and process signals of radio systems using modern SDR equipment.
