Course Description:
Nowadays, knowledge of data transmission and infocommunication is essential for every electrical engineer. Infocommunication today occurs between Human-Human; Human-Machine and Machine-Machine. The medium for information transmission is the signal. Understanding signals and physical transmission media is essential in infocommunication.

The aim of the subject is to provide students with a solid foundation for understanding infocommunication and mastering data transmission solutions.

Short Syllabus:

Classification of signals, basic concepts of telecommunications. Signal analysis, spectral examination of signals, Fourier analysis.

Human senses (properties of vision and hearing), acoustics.

Signal converters (microphones, speakers, cameras, and displays).

Digitization of analog signals and its effects, rules, technical solutions, theoretical and practical problems.

Parameters of transmission media (free space, guided connections, basics of optical transmission).

Transmission methods of information-carrying signals over available transmission media, line coding, and modulation solutions.

Competences:
C1: Knowledge of scientific concepts and laws. Recognizing knowledge, concepts, processes, and laws. Establishing relationships and correlations between knowledge, concepts, processes, and laws. Recognizing and understanding the representations of knowledge, concepts, processes, and laws. C2: Interpretation of phenomena and problem-solving. Explanation and prediction of phenomena. Modeling phenomena and problems. Analyzing and solving problems. Reasoning. Formulating a standpoint based on principles. Quantitative application of laws. C3: Examination of natural phenomena. Formulating questions, setting up hypotheses based on observations.

Topics:

Assessment: During the semester: The condition for obtaining the signature and being eligible for the exam is to achieve at least a sufficient grade (50%) on the mid-term tests and to complete the measurements during the semester at least at a sufficient level. Attendance at lectures is mandatory. Offered grade: An offered grade can be earned if the average of the major mid-term tests written during the semester is at least 4.00. The decision on the offered grade is made jointly by the lecturer and the instructor leading the classroom practice. An offered grade cannot be obtained through make-up tests. Make-up methods: Major mid-term: One occasion at a time agreed upon during the semester. Practical make-up can be arranged with the instructor. Requirement for exam registration: Obtaining the signature is a prerequisite for taking the exam. Exam method: Written and/or oral exam covering the entire semester\'s material. At least a sufficient grade (50%) is required to pass the final exam. In case of online education, the oral exam will cover the entire semester\'s material, based on assigned topics (theory + practice) and current regulations, conducted on an online platform (MS Teams, Skype). Calculation method for the year-end exam grade: Sufficient level 50% + 1 point. Other grades are calculated by linear distribution of points above the sufficient level. Other: No printed or electronic aids (calculator, mobile phone, smartwatch, etc.) are allowed during assessments and measurements. Use of any unauthorized tools or methods during the semester will result in the cancellation of the subject for the semester.
