Transmission and Switching Systems

Lecturer:

Jaromír Hrad (gar.), Jiří Vodrážka (gar.), Pavel Troller

Tutor:

Jaromír Hrad (gar.), Jiří Vodrážka (gar.), Jiří Hájek

Supervisor:

Department of Telecommunications Engineering

Synopsis:

Students will obtain the transmission technologies SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy) and WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplex) used in telecommunication networks and functional principles of the transmission and digital switching systems used in NGN (Next generation network, VoIP). The main subjects are physical media parameters, access and backbone transmission technology, optical transmission systems.

Requirements:

The credit shall require 100% attendance and treatment of laboratory projects and submission of individual project. Evaluation of the exam consists of approximately 20% of the exercises, 30% individual project, 50% for their own exam.

Syllabus of lectures:
