E2406 (P211-0115, P211-0116) Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2018 , semester 4, mandatory course, technical
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).
75 class hours (= 56.25 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 180 hours (equivalent to 6 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 123.75 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dr. Albrecht Kunz
Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Albrecht Kunz

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module, students will possess comprehensive system knowledge in the field of communications engineering and thus, be able to advance innovative developments in their future careers. They will understand the techniques for setting up a cellular mobile network. They will be able to distinguish between different system generations in mobile communications and explain their common features. Students will be able to familiarize themselves with and apply various radio standards (Bluetooth, WLAN, etc.). They will be familiar with the principles of satellite navigation and be able to use this technique to develop a mobile navigation device that receives data from global navigation satellite systems and compares it with target coordinates. Students will be familiar with the possibilities of single board computers and will be able to use their programming skills to solve practical tasks in the lab class. With the knowledge acquired in the seminar and the lab class, students will be able to set up and operate a wireless communication channel. Lab tasks will be assigned to small teams. Within the teams, students must work together to solve practical tasks. They will use lab equipment to plan and carry out measurements. During the seminar, students must present the results of their group work in a well-structured, understandable and appealing manner, in order to inform their fellow students about the topics dealt with in the seminar/lab class. Students must write a technical "report" with a clear structure, appealing layout and concise wording.
