Course Objectives

Il modulo si propone di fornire le conoscenze e le abilità minime necessarie al progetto e alla verifica di una rete di telecomunicazione. Sarà chiesto allo studente approfondimento tramite un progetto; tale attività ha l’obiettivo di applicare in pratica la maggior parte degli argomenti e tools acquisti durante il modulo per la giusta analisi di una rete di telecomunicazione, dagli aspetti di livello fisico e gestione dei segnali radio alla complessità di gestione una rete di grande dimensione.
