EGH443 Advanced Telecommunications

With the increasing importance of telecommunications systems and services in people's lives, a unit covering the fundamentals and applications of advanced communication systems is indispensable in the Electrical Engineering Curriculum. Therefore, this unit provides an understanding of the evolution of mobile communications systems from 1st generation to 5th generation, efficient cellular planning, wireless channel characteristics and modelling, transmitter and receiver diversity, multi-carrier systems, error control coding and decoding, and optical fiber communications. Emphasis is placed on fundamental principles of advanced communication methods so that on graduation, you will be able to interpret existing and emerging communication technologies. This is an advanced unit and therefore the prior knowledge on the basic signal analysis (EGB242), and telecommunications and signal processing (EGB342) is required.
