Key words
telecommunication, datacommunication
Objectives
The course aims at giving an introduction to communication systems and its use in industrial environments.
It also gives insight in technical aspects of the different transmission media.
Topics
Basic topics (communication model, topologies, OSI-referenence model)
Communication techniques (analog modulation AM, FM, PM; puls modulation, digital modulation; multiplexing; encryption;
error coding techniques)
Transmission media (free space, electrical conductors, optical fibres)
Implementations (modem, fieldbus, Profibus, CAN-bus, ...)
Prerequisites
Analog and digital elekctronics, physics, signals and systems

Study guidance
Individual guidance is provided by contacting the responsible lecturer.
Teaching Methods
Ex cathedra colleges.
Assessment
Oral evaluation after written preparation.
A weighted average is used to compute the final score for a training item.
However, if a student gains a score of 7 or less on 20 on one of the different
courses (parts of training items) , he proves that his skill for certain
subcompetencies is insufficient. Consequently, one can turn from the arithmetical
calculation of the final assignment of quotas of a training item and the new
marks can be awarded on consensus.
Of course, the examiners can judge that the arithmetic regulations mentioned in
the study index card can also be used for 7 or less.
For each deviation a detailed motivation ought to be drawn up. In that case one
should point out that the skill for this subcompetency is proven to be
insufficient, if the student didn't pass the partim that is considered to be
important for certain subcompetencies.
