Acquisition of basic knowledge about the communication systems: basic blocks and their roles on the transmit side, the basic characteristics of the channel and the basic blocks and their characteristics on the receiving side. The student should gain a global picture of the sequence of processing performed by each of the blocks and the ability to implement a complete communication chain for the realization of basic communication systems in MATLAB and interpret the results.

Students who successfully master the material in this course will be able to: - Identify and explain the basic blocks of the communication system on the side of the transmitter and the receiver and describe their main features - Implement a basic implementation of each of the communication units using MATLAB's Communications Toolbox and set its basic parameters - Implement a complete simulation chain of the basic realization of the communication system in MATLAB and adjusts and adapts to the basic parameters of the basic blocks within a complex system - Present and interpret the results of a simulation of communication systems in MATLAB.
