Module goal - Knowledge and skill to be achieved by students |
|
| The goal of the course is to enable students to gain theoretical and practical knowledge on systems of mobile communications of all generations and including satellite systems and networks and services necessary for fast and effective inclusion into technological processes of companies in the telecommunications sector. <br> Students gain theoretical knowledge during lectures. <br> Students gain practical knowledge in two ways: through exercises/visits to telecom company and through laboratory exercises. <br> |

Didactic methods |
|
| Lectures are performed by lecturer and each lecture is followed by description and solution of specific problems in appropriate field (42 classes) with goal of enabling students to master knowledge and skills which they should gain through this course. <br> During tutorials (14 classes), under tutor guidance and supervision, other examples and problems will be solved, as well as exam problems so that students may fully comprehend methodology and technique of application of learned theory. <br> As part of laboratory exercises (14 classes) the students will independently simulate and analyze all segments of signal processing and its preparation for radio channel transmission (laboratory exercises based on use of MATLAB software), i.e. will gain specific knowledge on functioning of the mobile communications network (visit/exercise at telecom company). <br> |

Exams |
|
| During the written part of the exam students are allowed to use a list of formulas prepared by lecturers, which may be of use in solving problems. It is not allowed to use other notes, books, cell phones or other electronic devices. Problems, which students must solve during the exam, are of the same type solved during the lectures and tutorials. <br> <br> | |
