Organisation and examination
Teaching in the second semester
Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
Table of contents: introduction, signals and telecommunications systems, continuous wave modulation, random variables, stochastic processes and noise, propagation and radio systems, introduction to digitization, digital baseband transmission, digital modulation, main principles of GSM networks, detection/error codes, GSM/4G/5G networks
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of the course, students will be able to:
- understand and exploit the theoretical and practical considerations involved in telecommunications;
- explain the origin of the major limitations of transmission systems;
- describe and model a signal that is transmitted in a communication channel;
- understand some large telecommunications systems.
This course contributes to the learning outcomes I.1, I.2, III.1, V.1, V.2 of the BSc in engineering.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Bases in mathematics, probability theory, signal processing, and wave propagation
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is based on "ex-cathedra" lectures and practical courses. The "ex-cathedra" lectures describe in detail the basic theoretical concepts involved in telecommunications systems. The practical courses involve exercise sessions.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
