Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Demonstration, Laboratory work
Learning outcomes
The goal of the subject is to inform the attendants about the principles of data-transmission through access and backbone network technology (communication lines, parameters of metallic and optical transmission paths, mobile communications).
Graduates of subject get a universal view about the conception of basic cable and wireless communication systems. He/She will be informed about its structure and function as well as methods of manipulation and transmission signal.
Prerequisites
This subject is focused on using transmission systems. Basic knowledge expected from the students: Information theory and signal (modulation, attenuation, distortion, modulation and transmission speed and theory of Nyquist and Shannon, time and frequency code multiplex.

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination, Written examination

Inclusion request: - Attendance in lessons, - Records from laboratory practice delivered and approved in time - Results of PC practice delivered and approved in time - Passed inclusion test (at least 60 per cent) Exam request: The exam consists of an oral part. During the oral part the student is asked at least 3 questions from the published list for the exam. The examiner assesses especially the measure of understanding the subject and the ability to use it in practice.
