OBJECTIVES

GENERAL

The main objectives of the course are the following: knowledge about the classification of the telecommunication networks and services; skills in dimensioning of the physical resources in a TLC network; skills in identifying a communication architecture and a network service suitable to satisfy the Quality of Service requirements; knowledge and configuration of a real time Ethernet network; knowledge and configuration of an Internet network. Knowledge of the fundamental mathematical models for the representation of signals in the time domain, in the main transformed domains, and in compressed format for transmission in a communication architecture.

SPECIFIC

• Knowledge and understanding: The student learns about the principles and paradigms of operation and design of telecommunication systems.

• Applying knowledge and understanding: The student is able to apply the knowledge acquired in the field of telecommunications systems to contribute to the definition of engineering solutions, including innovative ones, and to assess the impact of the proposed solutions.

• Making judgements: the student has the ability to analyze and contribute to the design of telecommunication systems, evaluating the impact of solutions in the telecommunications application context, with reference to both technical and organization aspects.

• Communication skills: The course does not include specific objectives on communication skills.

• Learning skills: The student is able to autonomously acquire new knowledge of a technical-scientific nature relating to telecommunication systems by making use of various self-directed learning tools, including the autonomous study of relevant technical literature.
