After successful completion of the course, students are able to understand and apply the methods described under the item "Lehrinhalte". The theoretical models are primarily based on mathematical methods. The students are able to solve basic problems related to telecommunication system design.

Introduction. Fundamentals of information theory and signal detection. Puls-Code-Modulation. Baseband transmission. Source coding. Channel coding. Mobile communication. Carrier communication. Noise and link-budget. Synchronization.

1. Signals and Systems: Spectrum, Bandwidth, SNR 2. Elements of information theory: Entropy, Binary Symmetric Channel, Channel-Capacity 3.Source-Coding 4.Channels: Cables, Fibers, Radio 5.Modulation-Formats: analog and digital 6.Demodulation: Matched Filter, Error-Probability 7.Channel-Coding: Block and Convolutional Codes 8.Power-Bandwith-Efficiency 9.Multiple Access: FDMA,TDMA, CDMA 10. Synchronization 11. Equalization 12. Intersymbol -Interference  13. Mobile Communications.

The contents of the course will be presented with mathematical models and partially visualized with simulations.

Please send questions regarding the exercises to tk138@list.tuwien.ac.at only!

first class: Tue, 2.3.2021 at 10:15  via zoom-meeting. Invitation will be postet in TISS.

The exam is written and oral. First the written part has to be successfully completed and after that the oral exam take place.

The exercise-part will be conducted via TUWEL. The exercise-part will be concluded by a written exam on Fr. 25.06. 12:30 (virtual). Participation at the exercise test requires a room in which you can work alone and undisturbed, at least one device with camera and microphone, as well as, a stable Internet connection. In addition, a printer would be helpful to print the problem sheets. Throughout the test the camera has to be activated and the microphone deactivated (only activated upon request). The problems have to be solved on paper, scanned (e.g., via smartphone camera) and uploaded on TUWEL. If this is not possible for you, please contact the course instructors well ahead of time (latest when registering for the test). Details and modalities of the exercise-part are described in TUWEL.

Registration is required to get access to the exercise-course on TUWEL.
