Supervisor:

Department of Telecommunications Engineering

Synopsis:

Students will obtain the basic knowledge in a fundamental functional principles of the telecommunication systems, the digital transmission systems and signal processing theory. The main subjects are physical media parameters, access and backbone network technology, for example PDH (Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy), SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy), ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode), xDSL (Digital Subscribe Line) and ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network).

Requirements:

Labs measurement protocols, test.

Syllabus of lectures:

1. Telecommunication services, wideband requirements, standardisation

2. Telephone channel, voice signal processing, PCM30/32

3. Multiplexing methods, PDH and SDH transmission systems

4. Optical transmission systems - DWDM

5. Backbone and access networks, data links, data interfaces

6. OSI Reference model, protocols architecture

7. ISDN networks

8. ATM networks

9. Physical media parameters, digital signal regeneration

10. Copper pairs, crosstalk, information capacity

11. Modulation methods, modems

12. xDSL systems, aplications

13. Optical access networks, hybrid networks, CATV

14. Wireless systems, mobile networks

Syllabus of tutorials:

1. Basic review of important terms and definitions.

2. Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH). SDH ADM muldex configuration.

3. Optical fibers. Measurement of attenuation. Demonstration of OTDR method.

4. Passive optical access network (EPON).

5. Configuration of xDSL systems.
