Introduction to current telecommunications systems, including regulatory, technological and operational aspects.
Characterization of fundamental systems in the current telecommunications landscape: radio communications, optical communications and multimedia systems. Students should acquire notions of dimensioning these systems, and of their integration and relevance on the national and international economy
1- Introduction to telecommunication systems: fundamental components of a digital transmission system; types of service and their characterization; general principles in the design of a telecommunications system.
2- Standardization and regulation in telecommunications.
3- Mobile communications: channel characterization; link power budget and radio resource management techniques; multiple access; cellular mobile generations (2G, 3G, 4G and 5G).
4- Satellite communications: link characterization; orbits; link power budget; performance analysis.
5- Optical communications: elements of a optical link; transmission windows; fiber optic structure; attenuation; distortion; fiber types; optical sources; receptor structure; performance analysis.
6- Multimedia systems: encoding and transmission of images and video.
