Objectives
Analyse in the frequency domain continuous signals and systems using the Fourier Transform. Understand transmission systems, modulation techniques with continuous carrier applied to analogue and digital transmission systems.
Program
1 - Introduction to telecommunications;
2 - Signals and systems;
3 - Signal Theory: principles of frequency analysis based on Fourier Series and transforms;
4 - Modulation techniques with continuous carrier;

Evaluation Methodology
Written exam (14 out of 20) (a minimum of 40% is mandatory) and Lab work (6 out of 20) (a minimum of 50% is mandatory). The laboratory component must be carried out until the date(s) indicated by the lecturer-in-charge until the end of the exam-based assessment period.
