Teaching methods
The course is organized in classroom frontal lectures in which the fundamental elements of digital communication and radar systems are addressed. The theoretical investigation of each theme is combined with examples and with the resolution of specific problems and exercises, with the purpose to illustrate and remark the practical applications.
In the framework of some of the covered topics the implementation of a software simulation (Matlab) is proposed, aimed at performance evaluation with numerical methods.
Assessment methods
Examination consists of an oral exam, aimed at assessing the methodological capabilities and the level of knowledge of the covered topics gained by the student.
Students who will exhibit a full and comprehensive knowledge of all class topics, together with the capability of using them in the framework of new problems, and an excellent command of language, will receive an evaluation ranging from good to excellent. Students whose knowledge of the covered topics is mostly mnemonic and whose language is essentially correct but not always appropriate will receive a grade of fair. Possible knowledge gaps, ignorance of the definition of important quantities or parameters, or an inappropriate and lacking language will receive a negative rating.
Teaching tools
Educational material: slides covering all topics are made available to the students in electronic format in the institutional repositories.
