The course seeks to introduce the students to telecommunication systems by focusing on physical layer technologies. By concluding the course, students are able to:

• thoroughly understand the principles that govern the transmission in telecommunication systems as well as the principles of analysis and design of telecommunication systems
• understand the transmission of information and the its techniques
• recognize the discrete functions performed in a telecommunication system
• distinguish and explain the mathematical tools describing the functions of a telecommunication system
• apply mathematical notations and tools in the analysis and synthesis of both existing and new analog and digital telecommunication systems

By concluding the lab sessions students are able to:

• identify and apply the acquired theoretical knowledge in real-world problems
• use and exploit laboratory equipment for observation, measurement and comparison of real signals.
   

Not required.

• Written exams (70%), consisting of comprehension/reasoning questions and problem solving.
• Laboratory exercises: 30%
