Course objectives:
|
The aim of the course is to explain the basic principles, structure and requirements for telecommunication networks, to give examples of specific technologies used in telecommunication networks, including practical experience with Ethernet-based networks. PDH, SDH technologies are also explained, as well as how signals are transmitted and processed by these technologies, including metallic, optical and wireless technologies used in access networks.
|
Requirements on student
|
Active participation on lectures and tutorials, knowledge of subject matter, completing of semestral works.
|
