Objectives
Objectives
The main goal is to transmit to the students the basic concepts of telecommunications, as well as to introduce the main mathematical and computational tools needed for their treatment. The plan is to:
- Present the basics of digital modulations, intersymbol interference and channel coding. In this way the students will be able to understand, develop and design digital communication systems.
- Develop a broad knowledge of concepts and principles of telecommunications, which permits the student to apply this knowledge to systems that are governed by the same principles.
- Learn, and show how to use, the tools necessary for treatment of numerical sequences. Their application will allow the students to perform a higher-level analysis, such as, e.g., the statistical treatment of a computer network, or design and development of new algorithms.

Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
Continuous evaluation
- Individual theoretical test PT, composed of a written test and an oral test, with a minimum grade of 9.5 points
-Practical work TP, composed by a set of works, to be delivered by the students, in groups to be defined by the lecturer, with a minimum grade of 9.5 points
-Assiduity and AP participation. Students who score 15.0 or higher in this component are exempt from performing the oral component of the theorical test;
FINAL GRADE = 0.65 * PT + 0.25 * TP + 0.1 * AP
Exam Evaluation
- Individual theoretical examination PT, composed of a written exam and an oral exam, with a minimum mark of 9.5 points
- Practical work TP, composed of a set of works to be delivered by the students, in groups to be defined by the lecturer, with a minimum grade of 9.5 points
- Assiduity and AP participation. Students who scored above 15.0 in this component are exempt from the performance of the oral component of the tear
FINAL GRADE = 0.65 * PT + 0.25 * TP + 0.1 * AP
