Principles of Digital Communications
Description
More and more products and services are becoming smarter (e.g. through sensors) and depend on digital communication infrastructure - from production to logistics to the medical sector. Buzzwords like Industry 4.0, Internet of Things, Cloud and Smart Home / Smart Car / Smart City are on everyone's lips.
Perhaps you feel unsecure about having to rely on the black box "digital communications technology" and would like to know more about how this ubiquitous technology works?
The module "Principles of Digital Communications" is designed to familiarize you with the fundamentals of this basic technology: What does "digital" actually mean and how is information encoded and transmitted? Which components are needed for a digital communication system? Why are there different communication protocols and where are they used? What are the advantages of transmission based on fiber optics? What are the physical and technical limitations? Equipped with this basic knowledge, you should be able to assess which communication system is suitable for which application (and why) and thus make more qualified decisions in the field.
