Planned learning activities and teaching methods |
The taught part of course is delivered to the students by means of lectures, conducted with the help of computer presentations. Lecture notes and presentations are available through the web for students to use in combination with the textbooks. Lectures are supplemented with laboratory work carried out at the communications laboratory. During laboratory sessions, students perform individual or small group experiments performed in the Communications Laboratory. The laboratory is equipped with workstations that include a digital communications board, a desktop computer that communicates and controls the board, a digital oscilloscope and other equipment for measurements. | ||||||||||
