Subject specific learning outcomes and competences

Students will be introduced in detail to data transmission systems and the possibilities of realizing data communication in these systems. The subject matter discussed is focused mainly on codes, their types and their application. Based on the range of the subject matters the student should be able, after a successful completion of the course, to solve all the standard problems that appear in this type of data communication.

Learning objectives

The aim of the course is to introduce students to the basic knowledge of data communication, tools for its realization, and to the conditions of its realization in contemporary as well as prospective telecommunication systems.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

The subject knowledge on the secondary school level is required.

Progress assessment

A precondition for awarding the credit pass is a successful completion of laboratory measurements and computer practice. The student can miss 20% of practice if properly excused. The missed practice must be made up for by agreement with the instructor.

Controlled instruction

The content and forms of instruction in the evaluated course are specified by a regulation issued by the lecturer responsible for the course and updated for every academic year.
