Summary
Current technological advances mean that there has never been as much information as there is today. It increases at a dizzying speed and takes the form of images (fixed or animated), sounds and digital data. On the other hand, there is a convergence between telecommunication networks and IT networks. Although these networks carry the same type of data streams (digital data, voice, video, etc.) and are based on the same model (the OSI model), their requirements in terms of service quality differ. In this module, we will focus only on the lower layers of the OSI model (physical layer and modulation principles), and more particularly on the physics of radio frequency waves (in the terrestrial environment and guided) and on modulation/demodulation principles (analogue and digital).
Educational goals
- Know how to understand, use, design and calculate the dimensions of a telecommunications system whose purpose is to transmit information.
- Know its parameters and limits.
- Understand how the devices, systems for the general public and specific systems work.
- Know how to monitor their future developments.
- Understand the transition from analogue to digital.
- Show the links between the development of modern telecommunication systems and the development of electronics, IT and signal processing methods.
