Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will be introduced in detail to data transmission systems and the possibilities of realizing data communication in these systems. The subject matter discussed is focused mainly on codes, their types and their application. Based on the range of the subject matters the student should be able, after a successful completion of the course, to solve all the standard problems that appear in this type of data communication.

Prerequisites

The subject knowledge on the secondary school level is required.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

At the end of each laboratory or PC exercise the teacher checks the results of the assignment given and awards points. The points awarded for laboratory and PC exercises (a maximum of 30 points in a semester) go to the evaluation of the examination and thus also the assessment.
The examination is written. Tle maximum numer points is 30. The resultant evaluation is the point adition of laboratory, PC exercises and written examination. The minimum feasible value is 50 points, the maximum value is 100 points.
