ELT-40007 Basic Course on Communications Engineering, 5 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 together form complete communications networks. The course also concretizes the significance of communications engineering in the present-day society, which is evolving due to digitalization.
Only one of the courses ELT-40007, ELT-40006, ELT-40002, ELT-40001, ELT-40000 can be included to university degrees.
