Valid for year : 2011
 
TNE066 Telecommunication, 6 ECTS credits.
/Telekommunikation/

For:   KTS   WNE  

 

Prel. scheduled hours: 52
Rec. self-study hours: 108

  Area of Education: Technology

Main field of studies: Media Technology, Electrical Engineering

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): A

Aim:
The course is intended to provide the students with fundamental and advanced knowledge in telecommunication theory. After the course, the students are expected to be able to:
  • Perform source-coding computations
  • Use error-correcting codes
  • Describe different retransmission techniques
  • Explain fundamental properties of communication channels such as electrical cables, optical fibers, and radio links
  • Describe and analyse digital modulation techniques
  • Carry out calculations regarding quantization and sampling
  • Explain the characteristics of different access methods


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Calculus, linear algebra, Fourier transformation, probability theory, and signal processing.

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.
Supplementary courses:
Mobile Communication and Wireless Communication Systems
Organisation:
Lectures, exercises and labs/projects.

Course contents:
  • Communication channels: radio links, optical fibers, electric cables
  • Pulse Code Modulation (PCM): conversion from analogue to binary signals by sampling and quantization as well as reconstruction from binary to analogue signals
  • Channel impairments: noise, interference, fading etc.
  • Digital modulation: modulation techniques such as PSK, FSK, and ASK
  • Error-correcting codes: both fundamental block codes and more advanced LDPC codes
  • Retransmission techniques: hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) type I and II
  • Source coding: Huffman coding and concepts as compression ratio and redundancy
  • Access methods: FDMA, TDMA, and CDMA


    • Course literature:
    Telecommunication Methods (M. Olofsson) + additional material
    Examination:
    Written examination
    Laboratory work
    		 4 ECTS
    2 ECTS
