Lecturer:

Tutor:

Supervisor:

Department of Telecommunications Engineering

Synopsis:

The lectures present basic requirements concerning telecommunication systems, processes of research, development and production, principles and methods of construction design. There are discussed requirements related to implementation of individual parts in the systems, modern component parts, testing, measuring, technical support and servicing of telecommunication systems. The main part of exercises is dedicated to projects that make students familiar with advanced features, designing, simulation, configuration, testing and measuring of modern ICs and blocks for telecommunication systems. Excursions to manufacturing facilities are included in the program.
