(basics) be generally aquainted with modern communication, especially digital communication, i.e. be able to briefly describe several communication techniques. (questions) be able to briefly account for some common channel models, especially for cables, radio channels and optical channels. (questions) be able to describe problems that arise in communication situations, using own words, and be able to describe, and in a relevant way, compare methods to counteract those problems. (questions) 2012-08-31 TSKS01 Digital Communication - Lecture 1 4 Course Aims 2(2) After passing the course, the student should be able to account for the connection between different concepts in the course in a structured way using adequate terminology. (questions) be able to, with some precision, analyze and compare various choices of digital modulation methods and coding methods in terms of error probabilities, minimum distances and related concepts. (problems) be able to implement such communication systems that are treated in the course in block form and empirically evaluate them. (laborations)
