Note from June 29, 2020
Although we do not yet know how long the social distancing related to the Covid-19 pandemic will last, and regardless of the changes that had to be made in the evaluation of the June 2020 session in relation to what is provided for in this learning unit description, new learnig unit evaluation methods may still be adopted by the teachers; details of these methods have been - or will be - communicated to the students by the teachers, as soon as possible.

Main themes
This course is part of the Major orientation in the Master in Electrical Engineering. Starting from bases in electromagnetism and transmission lines, LELEC2795 applies the knowledge to various communication 'or related- systems, such as wireless mobile networks, Earth-Satellite communication Systems, Interferometry and Radar systems and wired transmissions.
Aims
At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to : | |

Content
- Radiowave propagation in homogeneous media ( reflection and refraction on planar boundaries)
- Radiowave propagation in waveguides
- Effects of the non-idealities of the front-end of the transmitter and receiver circuits
- Concepts of mobile cellular communication systems: cell, interferences, multiple access, multiplexing, fading, diversity
- Mobile radio propagation (path-loss, shadowing and fading)
- Radar scattering, systems and algorithms
- Issues and challenges in wired systems: DSL and optical fibers.
Teaching methods
The course is organized in
- 12 courses of 2h
- 10 supervised exercises of 2h
- 2 laboratories : one using multiple-antenna systems and one on the use of RAPIDS software for the evaluation of an earth-satellite link budget
Evaluation methods
The students have a written examination, based on the objectives described above. The students have at disposal the copy of the slides, without any written annotation.
The evaluation of the project is a report, individual or for a group of 2 students.
