GENERAL

The main objectives of the course are as follows: understanding the classification of satellite networks and satellite services; the ability to design satellite Low Earth Orbit (LEO); the ability to identify 5G communication architectures supported by appropriate LEO satellite networks in relation to the required Quality of Service (QoS) criteria.

 

SPECIFIC

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

• Applying knowledge and understanding: The student is able to apply the knowledge acquired in the field of satellite networks 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 satellite networks, 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 satellite networks by making use of various self-directed learning tools, including the autonomous study of relevant technical literature.
