Subject aims
To introduce students to the basic concepts and techniques of
information theory, data communications, computer networks
and layered protocols.
Subject description
Part A
Investigation of RF communication and optical fibre data
transfer. This is a project based section of the course where
students form small groups and learn to work as teams. Other
key points of knowledge are time management and
coordination of the members of each group.
Students may choose from the following projects:
Simple transmitter - power amp and antenna for freq.
