Competencies and objectives

 

Course context for academic year 2025-26

Esta asignatura abarca dos áreas temáticas fundamentales en el ámbito de la ingeniería aeroespacial, como son los sistemas de radiocomunicación y el control.

El bloque I proporciona al estudiante una base conceptual y técnica en radiofrecuencia, abarcando los principios de transmisión, propagación y recepción de ondas electromagnéticas, fundamentales en sistemas de comunicación, navegación y vigilancia. Asimismo, introduce al estudiante en los fundamentos de la teoría de la señal, proporcionando las herramientas necesarias para analizar y caracterizar señales, tanto en el dominio del tiempo como en el de la frecuencia. 

Por otro lado, en el bloque II, se describen los sistemas de control automático y su aplicación a la ingeniería aeroespacial. El control automático es la rama de la ingeniería dedicada a que los sistemas funcionen de manera autónoma. El control automático resulta crucial en la generación y transmisión de energía, en el control de procesos, en la fabricación de bienes y equipos, en la comunicación, en el transporte e incluso para el entretenimiento y el ocio. Dentro del ámbito de la ingeniería aeroespacial, los sistemas de control permiten garantizar la estabilidad, precisión y seguridad de aeronaves y vehículos espaciales durante todas las fases de operación, desde el despegue hasta el aterrizaje o reentrada. El correcto diseño de los controladores permite que los sistemas dinámicos respondan de forma adecuada ante perturbaciones y condiciones cambiantes, cumpliendo con los requisitos de rendimiento exigidos en aplicaciones aeroespaciales. Esta asignatura describe no sólo de una forma teórica, sino también desde un punto de vista práctico e intuitivo los sistemas de control.

Para el desarrollo normal de la asignatura se recomienda que el alumnado haya cursado con aprovechamiento la asignatura de Ingeniería Electrónica.
