Course content LECTURE Introduction: history of radio communications. Basics of cellular systems coordination distance, commmon channel interference, 1G, 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G systems. Fundamentals of radio wave propagation in wireless communication systems: use of decibels in radiocommunication calculations: units and conversion formulas; frequency bands used; wave propagation in free space; role of antenna in radio link in system perspective, classification and applications of antennas; basic parameters of antennas: gain and directivity characteristics. Basic physical phenomena occurring in the analysis of wave propagation in terrestrial radio communication: reflection, attenuation, diffraction, scattering, the law of the fourth power; over-horizon propagation; multipath propagation. Characteristics of propagation environments: open, urban, indoor; examples of empirical and theoretical propagation models, digital terrain maps. Radio links: power budget. Fundamentals of transmission and reception techniques; Wireless communication systems and networks: channel access methods; radio access systems, Line-of-Sight systems; multimedia transmission and its types; Methods and standards of sound, image, and text compression. Effects of electromagnetic waves on people and the environment. Directions of development of wireless systems and techniques, including 6G cellular systems. LABORATORY Realization of projects covering design issues of selected classes of radiocommunication systems: cellular mobile telephony systems, private mobile radio systems (PMR), microwave line-of-sight radio links. System design is based on computer aided prediction of electromagnetic field intensity with the use of digital terrain models.
