Competencies and objectives

 

Course context for academic year 2012-13

Los medios de transmisión constituyen una parte fundamental de los sistemas de Telecomunicación, pues se ocupan de garantizar la correcta transmisión de una señal de información entre puntos distantes de dichos sistemas. El conocimiento de los medios de transmisión existentes, sus características y su modo de operación constituye una disciplina de interés y necesidad para el futuro graduado en Ingeniería de Telecomunicación.

 

 

Course content (verified by ANECA in official undergraduate and Master’s degrees)

UA Basic Transversal Competences

  • CT10 : Capacity to confront, plan and solve real problems demanded by society in the field of engineering.
  • CT11 : Capacity to learn and apply new concepts and methods in an autonomous and interdisciplinary fashion.
  • CT12 : Capacity to assimilate and adapt to the permanent evolution of technology when developing one's professional career.
  • CT13 : Capacity to adopt the scientific method when planning and carrying out different academic and professional tasks.

 

Basic Transversal Competences

  • CT1 : Students should show they possess and understand knowledge in a field of study that continues from general secondary education and is usually found at a level which, although supported by advanced textbooks, also includes certain aspects that involve knowledge arising from the cutting edge of their field of study.
  • CT2 : Students should know how to apply their knowledge to their job or vocation in a professional manner and should possess those skills that are usually reflected when preparing and defending arguments and solving problems in their field of study.
  • CT3 : Students should have the ability to gather and interpret relevant data (normally within their field of study) to give opinions that include a reflection on important, social, scientific, ethical matters, etc.
  • CT4 : Students should be able to transmit information, ideas, problems and solutions to both specialist and non-specialist audiences.

 

Specific Competences: >> Competences Common to the Telecommunications Branch

  • C1 : Capacity for self-learning of new knowledge and techniques appropriate for the conception, development and exploitation of telecommunications systems and services.
  • C4 : Capacity to analyse and specify the fundamental parameters of communication systems.
  • C8 : Capacity to understand the mechanisms for propagating and transmitting electromagnetic and acoustic waves, and their corresponding transmitting and receiving devices.

Specific objectives stated by the academic staff for academic year 2012-13

  • Entender los tipos de medios de transmisión existentes, y comprender las  ventajas e inconvenientes que presenta cada uno de ellos.
  • Estudiar la problemática del ruido en sistemas de radiocomunicaciones como factor limitante de la cobertura del sistema, y saber como modelarlo.
  • Comprender y analizar la propagación de las señales en líneas de transmisión ideales, tanto en régimen temporal transitorio como  bajo régimen permanente sinusoidal.
  • Conocer las distintas degradaciones que aparecen en las líneas de transmisión reales, entender como afectan a las prestaciones de la línea y saber como caracterizarlas en una línea concreta.
  • Conocer los distintos tipos de medios guiados más utilizados, comprender sus características y limitaciones, y representar su comportamiento dentro de un sistema de comunicación.
  • Analizar las antenas como elementos de un sistema de comunicaciones vía radio, caracterizándolas a través de sus parámetros tanto en transmisión como en recepción.
  • Conocer los tipos más habituales de antenas, y saber como modelar las prestaciones de una antena a partir de sus  parámetros más significativos.
