Course details

Radio Communication

MPC-RKO FEKT MPC-RKO Acad. year 2022/2023 Winter semester 6 credits

Current academic year

The course addresses the theoretical apsects of modern radi communication theory. It emphasizes on the comprehension of principles of operation of communication systems. The students significantly improve their knowledge in the area of signal processing applied in communication theory, e.g. the algorithms of signal detection and signal space representation. Students get detailed informations about transmission over fading channel, transmission using the spread spectrum principle, OFDM technique and about MIMO systems. Moreover the students get knowledge on the advanced coding principles - e.g. the turbo and LDPC codes. During the practical computer ecxercises, the students verify the theoretical knowledge using the MATLAB computer simulations.
