Supervisor:

Department of Circuit Theory

Synopsis:

Practically oriented course, which joins and covers the knowledge, acquired in other, theoretical oriented courses. The main aim is to connect practical and theoretical knowledge necessary for design of particular telecommunication and radiocommunication systems. There is a couple of excursions organized in the course time, too. Guest external experts are participating on the course. The students are working on the semestral projects during the course and their classification is based mainly on the quality of the project.
