Wireless Communications

Objectives

- Develop knowledge about wireless communications, namely through the characterization of the main architectures, propagation aspects, channel and interference models, and transmission techniques.

- Know and know how to characterize the impairments of the radio channel and transceivers of the systems.

- To provide students with the knowledge to develop simulations of wireless communication systems, including the modeling of the main components: transmitter, channel, and receiver.

- Know the main techniques for evaluating the performance of a wireless communication system.
