Lecturer:

Tomáš Zeman (gar.)

Tutor:

Tomáš Zeman (gar.), Jiří Hájek

Supervisor:

Department of Telecommunications Engineering

Synopsis:

This course focuses on hardware and software of the most important data transmission means (modems, baseband-modems, hi-speed data systems - sDSL, PLC, wireless systems WiFi and WiMax, IPTV systems...), application of these means in telephone and data networks, especially in the specific environment of the Czech Republic. The emphasis is put onto practical introduction of the most important devices, their operation and diagnostics.
