Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with software tools used for design and simulation analysis of communication systems and tools, for modeling and visualization of individual steps in signal processing in telecommunications. Students will learn to compare commercial (licensed) and free software tools, to evaluate their advantages and disadvantages and areas of use. They will be able to use these tools to simulate electronic and optical elements in communication systems, radio transmission systems and computer networks.

Subject syllabus:
The semester is divided into 4 parts in which the students are introduced to the simulation tools:
- general communication systems and their sub-elements
-- connection between mathematical model and simulation model; signals in time domain (harmonic signal, signal composed of 2 and more harmonic signals, rectangular signal, pulse),
-- the spectrum of transmitted communication signals; harmonic signals, their composition, beats and their influence on the spectrum,
-- an electronic RLC system as a filter and its effect on the spectrum of the transmitted signal,
-- amplitude modulation; spectrum of the amplitude modulated signal when transmitted by the communication system,
- systems and signals in optical communications
-- sources for optical communications and their spectral power characteristics,
-- filters in optical communications (Bragg gratings) and their influence on the spectrum of the transmitted signal,
-- circulators and their use in communication systems,
-- WDM communication systems - spectrum; channel multiplexing and demultiplexing,
- radio communication systems
-- analysis of radio signal propagation in an open space environment using the RadioMobile opensource tool,
-- tools for antenna modeling, introduction to simulations of RF elements,
- simulation of communication protocols and networks,
-- an overview of the most used protocols and their analysis,
-- design and simulation of network infrastructure,
-- low-level work with packets and transmitted data, automated content generation and parsing,
-- functional and performance testing of SIP infrastructure.
