Learning Outcomes
1. | Determine and critically evaluate appropriate radio hardware components to meet a specified dynamic range (noise and third order distortion) specification for wireless equipment; | ||
2. | Utilise and critique the difference between different duplexing methods and discriminate the relevant performance trade-offs; | ||
3. | Apply high level technical competence to perform basic path loss estimation and radio link design, using calculations or specialised prediction software; | ||
4. | Analyse the causes of radio frequency fading and identify the most appropriate diversity countermeasure to this fading; and | ||
5. | Utilise and critique different MIMO modes of operation. |
