ELT-40006 Basic Course on Communications Engineering, 4 cr
Lisätiedot
The course introduces the basic concepts and operating principles for understanding the current and future communications systems. It is explained during the course, how data is transferred efficiently from a transmitter to a receiver, and how the properties of transmission medium affect the achievable data transfer rate. In addition, the course describes how single devices form complete communications networks.
