Description

This module will give students an in-depth understanding of the theories, techniques and tools to model, analyse and simulate today鈥檚 communications systems and networks. The complexity of communication and signal processing systems has grown considerably during recent decades. The emergence of a variety of new technologies (such as fast and inexpensive hardware for DSP, fibre optics, integrated optical devices and microwave ICs etc.) has had a significant impact on the implementation of communication systems.

Computer-aided techniques are therefore vital for engineers to evaluate performance and optimise designs in a timely, cost-effective and effort-free manner. In this course students will consider both the physical layer (link-level) and the network layer (network-level) and the theory of modelling and practical applications using standard simulation packages.
