ITS 4370 - Wireless Telecommunications
Covers wireless communications principles as well as a study of modern commercial wireless systems. Starts with a discussion on the challenges inherent to wireless communications and the proceeds with a study of RF propagation over noisy channels, S/N ratio, antennas and frequency assignment. Discusses satellite communications basics: components, operations, orbits, frequencies and Earth stations. A detailed discussion of wide area terrestrial wireless systems: analog and digital cellular, 3G and 4G broadband systems provides students with an overview of the advantages and limitations of diverse modern and legacy systems. Local and personal area networks discussions are also included, with an overview or their structure, security and the deployment planning process.
