Wireless Communications Course code: I41050M | 5 ECTS credits

Basic information
Level of Studies: Undergraduate applied studies
Year of Study: 3
Semester: 5
Requirements:
Goal: Students acquire basic knowledge of wireless transmission, familiarize themselves with radio transmission and functioning of radio-devices and mobile radio-systems, solve practical radio-communication range problems, and learn to design radio-link systems.
Outcome: After completion of the course, students should be able to determine signal-to-noise ratio in simple telecommunications systems. They will understand concepts of amplitude, phase and frequency of electromagnetic waves. They will understand radio wave propagation on transmission lines and compute reflection coefficients. They will be able to compute necessary transmitter power and antenna gains in order to achieve prescribed signal-to-noise ratio in radio-links.
