E2609 (P211-0071, P211-0072) Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2018 , semester 6, 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).
45 class hours (= 33.75 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 120 hours (equivalent to 4 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 86.25 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dr. Martin Buchholz
Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Martin Buchholz

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this course, students will have the basic knowledge necessary for understanding digital transmission systems. - They will be able to analyze the quality of digital transmission systems using eye diagrams and bit error rates. - Students will be able to simulate a complete transmitting and receiving system with Matlab/Simulink and other EDA tools. - They will be able to implement the required digital algorithms for carrier and clock recovery, automatic gain control, filtering, pulse shaping, equalization, as well as IQ modulation and demodulation. - They will be able to specify selection criteria for an appropriate receiver architecture and modulation procedure. - Students will be able to estimate the effort required for multi-rate signal processing (decimation and interpolation).
