Annotation
The goal of the course is to give a basic overview of current and perspective wireless communication systems used for data transmission, especially for students of field Web Technologies and Multimedia. Limits and possibilities of systems are discussed in lectures and seminars, in respect of multimedia content - mainly voice, audio, video, data (internet). Students are sequentially met with terrestrial - mobile and stationary - communication systems and with satellite links. The lectures also include topics about interactivity and convergence. The exercises are laboratory ones, important for understanding all the themes.
Study targets
For the students of Web and Multimedia, to give fundamental information about modulation methods and radio devices for the wireless communication.
