Condition
The goal An analysis of the realization of different transceiver types. Design and organization of locations for different radio system types. Principles and methods of realization of Multi-Carrier (MC) and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems. Principles of operation and realization possibilities of MIMO system and reconfigurable transceivers.
The outcome Students are familiar with the principles of different transceiver architectures. The student should acquire knowledge related to the two most commonly used transmission techniques (MC and OFDM).They could analyse the hardware structure of the radio station and perform software configuration of it.
