Undergraduate Program: Department of Informatics and Telecommunications, University of Peloponnese
Category: Specialization in Telecommunications-Elective
ECTS credits: 5
Semester: 8th
Prerequisites: Programming I or Programming II or Digital Communications or Signals and Systems
Learning outcomes
By the end of the course the student will be able to:
- generate random numbers having specific properties
- simulate the most well-known modulation formats
- design and simulate the optimum receiver
- identify the differences in system performance between theory and simulation
- evaluate the bit and symbol error probability
- describe the software-defined radio architecture
- develop communication systems based on SDR and GNU Radio
Content
Telecommunication system design by using methods and techniques based on random process, fundamental computer simulation techniques, fading channel, error probability simulation, spectral analysis, Monte Carlo simulation, thermal noise, Rayleigh fading, software defined radio systems, simulation system development in GNU Octave and GNU Radio.
Assessment
Written exams at the end of the semester with weight 60-40% and compulsory assignments during the semester with weight 40-60%.
