Data Communication TheoryLaajuus (4 ECTS)

Objective

After completing the course a student understands why different transmission methods are used over different tranmission channels, e.g., fixed and mobile channels. He/she is able to see why and how modern systems achieve better performance as channel quality is improved.
-----
After completing the course a student has basic knowledge for engineering of digital baseband systems. He/she can also estimate and plan, e.g., ADSL connections, and data rates and quality to be achieved.
