Course detail
Radio and Mobile Communication
FEKT-BRMKAcad. year: 2016/2017
The course is aimed at the digital mobile communication systems. In the first part of the course is presented: the partitision of mobile systems, their present development, general principles of signal processing, architecture and signal distortion in radio environment including the methods of their suppression. In the second part of the course, the best known mobile systems (GSM, UMTS, WiMAX, IEEE 802.11, Bluetooth) are described. The attention is concentrated on development of mobile systems and future mobile systems (LTE, HAPS, ITS). In laboratory practices students tested not only commercial mobile systems (T-Mobile CZ), but also partial parts of mobile systems (mobile terminals). For testing is used the top techniques of measurement.
