⌘ Principles of radio communication
- radio wave propagation
- Electromagnetic signals
- Nyquist Theorem
- Signal/noise ratio
- Shannon Theorem
- Signal strength

⌘ Boundary conditions
- What is happening on electrical walls, magnetic walls?
Scattering, reflection and diffraction (explain differences) are the three major components in wave propagation. Ideal reflection environments are characterised through
⌘ Nyquist Theorem
- Shannon: If a function contains no frequencies higher than [cycles/s], it is completely determined by giving its ordinates at series of points spaced seconds apart
- band-limitation versus time-limitation
- Fourier transform
[source: Shannon, 1948]
⌘ Signal/noise ratio
,
where P is average power
- why talking about noise?
- dB,
- near-far problem
[source: Wikipedia]
⌘ Shannon Theorem
Shannons theorem will be part of next lexture...
