Course detail

Communication Systems 2

FEKT-BPC-KS2Acad. year: 2020/2021

Following the subject BPC-KS1, students first become familiar with radio interface of communication systems (radio receiver and transmitter conception and architecture, level of their digitization, software defined radio) and with the specific building blocks function (amplifiers, mixers, oscillators, frequency synthesizers, filters, etc.). In the next part, the introduction to the current wireless communication systems will be given (fundamentals of radio and television broadcasting, satellite communications, cellular radiocommunication systems, etc.). Following part will be aimed at voice and data transmission via public switched telephone networks (network digitalization, modems, ISDN and xDSL technologies). Last part of the subject will be focused at the data transmission and network technologies (fundamentals of optical communication, network topologies, wireles networks PAN, LAN a WAN, digital hierarchy SDH/SONET, network components, protocols and services, etc.).
