Communications Systems
This module is an introduction to the topics relevant to both analog and digital communication systems. Topics include modulation techniques (AM/FM), tuned radio frequency receiver, electromagnetic wave propagation, antennas, digital sampling, multiplexing, digital modulation (PSK), source coding, channel coding and bit-error analysis.
Data Communications
This module equips participants with a working knowledge of current networking technologies in the industry. Participants will learn the principles and techniques of networking and communications, including physical cabling, network topologies, communication protocols and IP addressing. Participants will learn to design, plan, install network equipment (switches, routers, wireless access points) and operate small to medium size computer networks.
Mobile Communications
This module equips participants with the knowledge of mobile technologies. Participants will learn the principles of wireless communications, including fading, advanced diversity combining techniques such as MIMO, multiplexing techniques such as OFDM, multiple access techniques and RF/capacity planning. Participants will also learn about current cellular systems such as Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), 3G and 4G (LTE), as well as other wireless technologies such as WiMAX, Wireless Local Area Network (802.11a/b/g/n), and Bluetooth.
