Course detail
FEKT-MPA-VC1Acad. year: 2024/2025
Communication between vehicles and infrastructure is necessary for the so-called intelligent transportation system (ITS), for the purposes of navigation, autonomous driving and for vehicle access to the Internet. The course "Vehicular communication 1" consists of several related parts. In the first part of the course, students will be introduced to the theory and design of various types of antennas with emphasis on automotive applications, to the propagation of electromagnetic waves and to the principles of measuring and modeling time-varying (high mobility) channels. The second part of the course will describe the architecture of a wireless digital communication system, explain the operation of its building blocks and the basic transmission theory. The last part will focus in detail on some selected building blocks of the communication system which are promising for mobile wireless communication (modulation, access techniques, etc.).
