BIRCHAM INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY

Faculty of Engineering & Technology

MODULE: Telecommunication Engineering

Program delivered by distance learning higher education up to a maximum of 39 credits. This module may be combined or completed with other online university courses from this faculty.

DESCRIPTION:

This program illustrates how the telecom puzzle pieces function as a whole and the role of each individual piece. It puts the telecommunications professional "in the know" about the latest industry technologies and their function in the grand scheme. Provides top-to-bottom explanations of all aspects of telecommunications, plus clarifying the increasing interrelationship between telecom's numerous components because with each new day, a new technology or emerging product creates a dramatically different telecommunications landscape.

Instructor: Patrice Boisseau

Data Communications

This course covers the main concepts and components of data communications, and in particular it covers modern communication standards, protocol systems and their implementation, and transmission technology. It also examines the principles of complex networks: Open System Interconnection (OSI), Wide Area Networks (WANs), and Local Area Networks (LANs).

Instructor: Patrice Boisseau

Telecommunication Systems

This course concentrates on the analysis and verification of telecommunication systems and protocols. It begins with analog communication systems such AM and FM, followed by digital communications. In addition, it studies the effects of different transmission technologies on telecommunications.

Instructor: Jose A. Cordova

Telecommunication Networks

This course examines ordinary, single user, point-to-point communication systems and their juxtaposition to those involved in multi-user systems, satellite systems, radio networks, and computer networks. It presents architectures and protocols for telecommunication networks.

Instructor: Alvaro Venegas Zamorano

Telecommunication Technologies

This course examines digital telecommunication technologies with emphasis on their application in the business environment. Some topics covered include telecommunication hardware, software, terminology, and network architectures. It describes the use of telecommunication components and devices.

Instructor: Alvaro Venegas Zamorano

Electromagnetic Propagation

This course explains transmitting, reception and propagation of electromagnetic waves. It considers wave polarization, radio transmission, antenna concepts and design, and radiowave propagation in the presence of the earth and its atmosphere.

Instructor: Higinio Menendez Milanes

Signal Processing

This course explains the techniques, physical concepts and algorithms for signal processing of data communications. It studies the nature of signals, its classification, manipulations and properties of the systems and means that may transmit a signal. It provides solutions for the different problems associated with signal processing.

Instructor: Jose A. Cordova

Antennas & Wireless Systems

This course explores the theoretical underpinnings and tools for the analysis of antennas, wireless systems and radiowave links. It presents the analysis and design of several communication systems, and the latest technological trends in satellite application and alternative radiant structures.

Instructor: Jose A. Cordova
