Learning outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course, students will acquire basic knowledge and skills in the theory of various types of fixed and wireless transmission media in terms of design, transmission properties and adverse effects in signal transmission. It focuses on the use of various modern types of transmission media for the current requirements of transmission of multimedia signals through new technologies in access networks.

Course outline

1. Introduction to the theory of transmission media - basic terms, division into categories (types of transmission paths). 2. Solid metallic transmission media - model of homogeneous line, primary and secondary line parameters, load of high-frequency line. 3. Solid metallic transmission media - twisted pair, symmetrical line, coaxial cable, structured cabling. 4. Solid optical transmission media - optical transmission medium, types of optical media used in access and transport networks. 5. Solid optical transmission media - analysis of optical radiation propagation, analysis of transmission properties of optical media, adverse effects on optical transmission media in terms of transmission capacity and transmission range - attenuation, dispersion. 6. Solid optical transmission media - cables with optical fibers, construction and transmission properties, technology of building optical paths in transmission networks. 7. Wireless transmission systems - basic terms, history of wireless communication, selected types of wireless systems (WiFi, UWB, ZigBee, Bluetooth, IrDA, VLC, FSO, LiFi, etc.). 8. Electromagnetic wave propagation - components and polarization of electromagnetic waves, frequency bands, propagation methods, propagation of electromagnetic waves in different environments, propagation of radio waves of different frequencies. 9. Propagation of ground, ionospheric and tropospheric electromagnetic waves. 10. Antennas - introduction, antenna division, antenna parameters. 11. Linear antennas - thin symmetrical antennas, cylindrical antenna, systems of linear antennas, examples of linear antennas, antennas with advancing wave. 12. Area antennas - slot antennas, horn antennas, reflector antennas, lens antennas, microstrip antennas. 13. Antenna systems and Smart antennas.

Completion conditions

Assessment and completion of the course: Credit test and examination Continuous assessment: Student passes the continuous assessment and receives credits when he or she meets the requirement to obtain at least 21% out of 40%. Credit test Final assessment: Student passes the final assessment and passes the examination when he or she meets the requirement to obtain at least 31% out of 60%. Examination Overall assessment: Overall assessment is the sum of the assessments obtained by students in the assessment period. The overall result is determined in accordance with the internal regulations of the Technical University in Košice. (Study Regulations, the internal regulation principles of doctoral studies)
