Requirements

The course includes a number of partly elective small projects or laboratory exercises. For each of the chosen exercises, the required exercise work and reporting must be completed in an acceptable way.
Completion parts must belong to the same implementation

Principles and baselines related to teaching and learning

One main idea of the course is to develop problem-based teaching/learning methods for this topic area.

Learning outcomes

After successfully completing the course, a student will be able to understand the basic behavior of the lower-layer functional blocks of communication systems, implement and test the needed algorithms/subsystems using common simulation tools, and implement them in digital hardware or using programmable processors. He will also be able to evaluate and compare the performance of different algorithms/subsystems in terms of communication theoretic performance, implementation complexity and energy consumption.

Content

Content Core content Complementary knowledge Specialist knowledge
1. The course contains several partly elective modules, each focusing on a specific topic. Each module may contain introductory lectures, small literature study projects, design and simulation exercises, and laboratory measurement tasks.      

Evaluation criteria for the course

Quality of the exercise solutions / simulation studies / laboratory exercise work and quality of the reporting of the exercises.

Assessment scale:

Numerical evaluation scale (1-5) will be used on the course

Partial passing:

Completion parts must belong to the same implementation

Prerequisites

Course Mandatory/Advisable Description
TKT-1212 Implementation of Digital Systems Mandatory    
TKT-2437 SoC Design Advisable    
TLT-5406 Digital Transmission Advisable    
TLT-5706 Multicarrier Techniques Advisable

Additional information about prerequisites
Good skills in performing electronic measurements is a mandatory background for taking the course. The required theoretical background knowledge depends on the chosen exercises, and typically includes most of the mandatory courses in the Digital Communication Circuits and Systems (Tietoliikenteen digitaalitekniikat) Major. The course is targeted to the students of this specific major, but it is open to all students with sufficient background knowledge in this multidisciplinary field.
