AimsToggle Navigation
- Ability to construct, operate and manage networks, services, processes and telecom applications, understood these as systems of acquisition, transportation, representation, processing, storage, management and presentation of multimedia information, from the point of view of transmission systems.
- Ability to apply the techniques in networks, services and telecommunications applications in both fixed and mobile environments, personal, local or long distance, with different bandwidths, including telephony, radio, television and data, from the standpoint of transmission systems.
- Capacity for the selection of antennas, transmission equipment and systems, propagation of guided and unguided waves by electromagnetic means, RF or optical and related management and allocation of radio frequency space.

MethodologyToggle Navigation
In the master classes, the lecturer will give lectures using audiovisual means and materials previously available for the students.
Questions and problems will be solved in the class in a participatory way. Most problems and exercises will be provided together with the solutions. Hence, students could go in depth in the theoretical knowledge and real applications of the subject and the addressed concepts.
In the laboratory experimental works will be carried out in order to acquire knowledge and skills on the experimental techniques used in radiocommunications.
Assessment systemsToggle Navigation
The subject is evaluated following the ongoing assessment (“evaluación continua”) typology that is composed of two parts: a theoretical part (composed of a mid-term exam and a final exam) and a laboratory part.
Final mark:
- 80% of the mark from the theoretical part plus 20% from the mark of the laboratory part
- Minimum: 4 points out of 10 in each part.
1) The mark of the theoretical part (written exam corresponding to master and practical classes) is calculated as follows:
- Mid-term exam: 50% of the mark. Chapter 1, 2 and 3.
- Final exam: 2 parts, each one is 50% of the mark
• 1st part. Chapters 4, 5, 6 and 7
• 2nd part. Chapters 1, 2 and 3. If the student does this exam, the new mark will replace the mark of the mid-term exam.
2) The mark of the laboratory part corresponds to the deliverables presented by the student.
Attending to the laboratory is mandatory to be evaluated following the “evaluacion continua” system.
The students refusing the ongoing assessment system, following the procedure and the deadlines stated in Normativa de Evaluación del Alumnado, will have a final evaluation in the form of a written exam consisting of a part corresponding to lectures (80%) and a part corresponding to the laboratory (20%).
Waiving the ordinary call: students not sitting for the final exam will be considered as students waiving the ordinary call.
When the condition of "Minimum of 4 points out of 10 in each of the two parts (theory and laboratory)" is not met, and the value of Final_Note calculated according to the next formula
Nota_final=0,8*nota_teoría+0,2*nota_laboratorio
is greater than 4, the final mark will be 4.
In all other cases, the final mark will be the result of applying the formula.
