Subject syllabus

Subject in detail familiarize the student with the basic blocks of radio communication chain. Emphasis is particularly placed on transmitter and receiver design elements, trunk networks, single-frequency network and communication via spread-spectrum. A part of the course deals with the noise, interference, interference target resources in space and radio systems for positioning.

The course aims to familiarize the student with the basic detail blocks radio communication chain. The emphasis is mainly placed on the transmitter and receiver design features radio systems , trunked networks , single-frequency network and communication via spread- spectrum frequency . Another part of the subject it deals with the noise , interference , measurement of interference sources in space and systems for radio positioning. It is recommended to pass the course Radiocommunications 1.
