ELET 290 Wireless Networks

This course builds on topics from previous data communications, physics and mathematics courses and applies them to the study of wireless data communications systems. Topics include decibel notation, spectra of waveforms, modulation methods, transmission media, antennas, wireless links and systems including protocols, hardware requirements and functionality. The student will develop an understanding of the basic theoretical and practical elements of wireless data communication systems. This will provide a foundation for an understanding of the wireless data networking techniques that exist today. These systems are now in widespread use and gaining in popularity.
Pre-requisite(s): CISS 120 Networking I- Intro to Data Communication; ELET 120 Personal Computer Hardware Essentials; PHYS 100 Physical Science; TLMG 100, Principles of Telecommunications I.
