Overview

The aim of communications technology is to transmit messages from point to point with as few errors as possible. To achieve this, a variety of problems must be solved. While the module "Communication Technology" deals with analog modulation methods, the concepts of information theory and error-correcting codes, digital modulation methods are dealt with in the module "Digital Communication".

Analog modulation methods:

amplitude modulation

angle modulation

Basic concepts of information theory:

entropy, information

channel capacity

Error-correcting codes:

linear block codes

cyclic codes

convolutional codes

Learning objectives

The students understand the basic principles and mathematical methods of analogue transmission technology.
The students can systematically analyze and evaluate existing transmission technology systems.
Their understanding goes to such an extent that they can inde-pendently familiarize themselves with new methods.
The students know the most important methods for error correction, can assess their advantages and disadvantages and are able to apply them.
