This unit provides a review of the foundation material in order to support the understanding of both Analogue and Digital Communication Techniques taught in subsequent models.
The taught units and their associated assessments (including examinations) occur in the first 35 weeks and the research project runs full-time during the latter 15 weeks of the programme. The taught material is presented over 2 Semesters, each 12 weeks in duration; excluding the Christmas and Easter vacations of 8 weeks in total. Further, the examinations are held May/June each year over a 3 week period. During the second Semester you will commence the background reading phase of your research project.
The taught material is arranged in units extending over a 12-week period (a Semester), typically with 2 lectures per week, each of 50 minutes duration.
The assessment of this material is via a combination of continuous assessment (usually laboratory assignments) and formal examination.
