Learning Outcomes (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020): 

Mastering of transmission theory and measurements including the properties and use of transmission lines.

Content (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020): 

Cables and optical fibres in telecommunication networks. Open generic cabling in access networks. Electromagnetic properties of cables, theory of crosstalk and screening/shielding including practical solutions.
