Aim:
After passing the course, the student should
- be generally aquainted with modern telecommunication, i.e. be able to briefly describe certain telecommunication techniques, especially concerning channel sharing.
- be able to briefly account for some simple channel models.
- be able to describe problems that arise in telecommunication situations, using own words, and be able to describe and, in a relevant way, compare methods to counteract those problems.
- be able to perform standard calculations within the different parts of the course.
- be able to, with some precision, compare various standard choices of digital modulation methods and coding methods in terms of error probabilities, minimum distance and related concepts.
- be able to account for the connection between different concepts in the course in a structured way using adequate terminology.

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
From Calculus: Derivatives, integrals and limits.
From Linear algebra: Everything related to linear spaces.
From Probability theory: Most, but with focus on binary distributions, rectangular distributions and Gaussian distributions
Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Organisation:
The teaching is given in the form of lectures and problem classes.

Course contents:
- Time continuous and time discrete deterministic signals and systems: Convolution, Fourier Transform.
- Channel models: Cables and radio channels: Thermal noise, fading and intersymbol interference.
- Analog modulation: AM, FM, PhM. Spectral properties, demodulation.
- Digital modulation: Common signal constellations, like FSK, PSK, QAM. Error probabilities.
- Codes for error control: Binary symmetric channels. Binary linear codes, repetition codes, simple parity check codes, Hamming codes, dual codes, product codes, cyclic codes and CRC codes. The sphere packing bound and the Singleton bound. Basic parameters like length, dimension, size and minimum distance. Weight and distance distributions. Error detection and correction capabilities.
- Source coding: Tree codes, Huffman coding and run-length coding. Entropy, Kraftâ?Ts inequality.
- Access methods: TDMA, FDMA, FH-CDMA, DS-CDMA.

The exam consists of two parts, with minimum requirements in both parts for passing the exam.
- One question part, where the learning outcomes " be generally aquainted with...", " be able to briefly account ", " be able to describe..." and " be able to account for..." are examined.
- A problem part, where the learning outcomes " be able to perform standard calculations..." and " be able to, with some precision, compare..." are examined.
