Radio Communication Systems

Lecturer:

Tutor:

Supervisor:

Department of Radioelectronics

Synopsis:

Radio communication systems are classified into the specific groups. General principles shared by the class are characterized firs. the emphasis is put on radio air interface, physical, link and partially also network layer. A general description is followed by the description of particular existing systems. The treatment builds on previously gained theoretical results and applies them on particular systems.
