Summary
Subject to the task in detail to familiarize the student with the basic blocks radio communication chain. Emphasis is particularly placed on the portion of the transmitter and receiver design elements of radio, trunk networks, single-frequency network and communication via spread-spectrum. Another part of the course deals with the noise, interference, interference target resources in space and radio systems for positioning.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Students will understand in detail the basic features of individual blocks of radio receivers and transmitters. Will be familiar with the technique of single frequency networks, communications via spread-spectrum noise and interference.

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.
