Course overview
Application area of digital communication systems is extremely wide: In addition to the well known telecommunication networks as the GSM system, it forms the bases of common-day electrical apparatuses from wrist watches to TVs, video games and satellites. This course is a continuation to S-72.1140 Transmission Methods in Telecommunication Systems by expanding its theories into advanced digital telecommunication systems.
Objective of this course is to provide students with the knowledge and understanding of advanced digital telecommunications systems with special emphases on digital, wireless communications. Course analyses transmission in fading multipath channel and determines performance of various modulation formats. Various diversity techniques are discussed to overcome transmission problems encountered due to multipath propagation. Methods of diversity can be extended to frequency, time and space diversity as well as to code diversity that is the bases of code division multiple access (CDMA) communications. Course includes also an inspection of cyclic and convolutional coding principles that are frequently applied for protecting digital messages in practical telecommunications channels. There is also an overview to fiber-optic communications that is an important technique for large data rate transmission. The course belongs to the compulsory advanced special studies (syventävät opinnot) module A3 of Telecommunications Systems / Coding Methods and Wired Telecommunication Systems.
