Course detail

Radiocommunication Signals

FEKT-MPA-ARSAcad. year: 2021/2022

The proposed structure of the subject focuses on the use of selected mathematical techniques in modern communication signal processing and wireless communication theory. The goal is to present students specialized mathematical apparatus, which is essential to understanding the principles of modern wireless communications.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

After completing the course, students should be able to independently solve problems associated with the verification and testing of assumptions and properties about the studied phenomena and data files in the telecommunications field. Furthermore, they should be able to independently solve practical tasks, ie choose and justify an appropriate method and apply it.
The student is able to: (a) quantifying the probability of the event; (b) distinguishing between the random variables and describe their characteristics; (c) to test the hypothesis; (d) analyse and describe measurements; (e) estimating the shape of the spectrum and identify the spectral components; (f) identify and test the presence of a signal in noise; (g) evaluate the classification and construct the ROC curve.

Prerequisites

A student who enrolls in the course should be able to compile a simple program in the Matlab environment and practice mathematical calculation procedures.

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. Techning methods include lectures, computer laboratories.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Requirements for completion of a course are specified by a regulation issued by the lecturer responsible for the course and updated for every. Students will be evaluated by credit on the basis of gaining points in practice (max. 30 points, min. 15 points) and the final exam (max. 70 points, min. 35 points).
