Objective

After the course the student understands the behavior of the electromagnetic wave. The student understands signal reflection behavior and termination in high frequency circuits. Students are familiar with the most common transmission standards and high-frequency components. The student knows signal modulation schemes. He or she knows the fundamental limitations of transmission lines. The student has basic understanding of different communication networks and their operation. The student knows sources of interference and the coupling mechanisms. The student will be able to plan systems where coupling is reduced. The student understands the frequency domain representation of signals and is able to work with the Fourier and Laplace transformations. The student is able to calculate the frequency response by the use of transfer function.
