Applicability / Curricular relevance:
All study programs (with year of the version of study regulations) containing the course.

E515 (P211-0018) Electrical Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2005 , semester 5, mandatory course
Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
60 class hours (= 45 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 150 hours (equivalent to 5 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 105 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
E101 Mathematics I
E104 Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering I
E201 Mathematics II
E203 Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering II
E301 Mathematics III

Learning outcomes:
Students will acquire a broad understanding of the established techniques and approaches used in modern communications engineering.
They will be able to describe, compare and assess the conventional analogue and digital techniques used in transmission technology.
By learning a range of different approaches and methods, students will be in a position to teach themselves the details of modern complex communications systems thus enabling them to keep themselves up-to-date with the latest developments in the field.
By incorporating the results of simulations into the lectures, students will acquire the ability to interpret numerical and graphical data, allowing them to compare and critically assess the performance of different techniques.
