Aims
The objective of the course is to teach students to recognize reliable activities of data transmission systems. Methods of data signal coding are studied in the first place. Major emphasis is laid on code protection against errors generated during data signal transmission.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
The content and forms of instruction in the evaluated course are specified by a regulation issued by the lecturer responsible for the course and updated for every academic year.
