Course Objective

It,mainly, is making the students conversant with the most popular telecommunications techniques and architectures used, today, as understructure for physical and link layer data communications.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Understand limits imposed by theory of communication technics onto computer data networks.
2   Comperhend, for computer data networks, the effects of electro-physical fundamentals on the first layer limitations.
3   Understand by examples, In data networks architecture, how an upper layer (2.layer)is designed according to limitations of a one lower layer.
4   Solve basic modulation problems by using analytical methods.
5   Realize what communication technologies may offer to computer engineering for improvment.
