Efficient and effective high speed communications are essential for delivering healthcare, industrial development, transport, broadcasting and a whole other myriad of services that help every country prosper and develop economically and socially.
This course is designed to meet the demand for engineers who understand modern communications techniques and the electronics that makes them work. At the physical level, it covers the propagation of radio waves and the behaviour of antennas. At the communications level, it ranges from the fundamentals of communication theory through modern modulation and coding techniques to cellular systems. At the electronics level, it complements these by dealing with the system-on-a-chip technology that implements much of modern systems. The course also benefits from a laboratory with a wide range of relevant and illustrative experiments.
Graduates of this course should expect to find jobs in many branches of rapidly growing communications industry, including radio engineering and the mobile sector.
