Learning Outcomes

Participants who complete this course will gain solid knowledge in radio communication and signal processing. They will understand the working principles of hardware and software related to satellite communication. In combination with the knowledge and skills gained in previous courses in space engineering, the participants will be able to set up a satellite communication link. In scope of a curricular project, the participants will build a ground station in interdisciplinary teams. They will scientifically document and present their work at the end of the project.

Content

- Applied technical know-how regarding the transmission of radio signals: characteristics of electromagnetic waves, components for transmitter and receiver circuits, antennas, transmission path, modulation and encoding schemes, operating modes, EMC etc. - Practical hardware and/or software design as well as manufacturing resp. implementation - Using electrical and HF measuring instruments - Methodogically planning an organizing a project - Scientific documentation and presentation of the practical work

Workload and Credit Points

Course-independent workload:

Workload description	Multiplier	Hours	Total
Attendance	14.0	2.0h	28.0h
Preparation and self-reliant project work	14.0	6.0h	84.0h
Preparation of project presentation	1.0	20.0h	20.0h
Project documentation (Paper)	1.0	48.0h	48.0h
			180.0h(~6 LP)

The Workload of the module sums up to 180.0 Hours. Therefore the module contains 6 Credits.

Description of Teaching and Learning Methods

One or multiple projects in the field of satellite communication, partly chosen by the students itself, will be realized in structured teams. Each group or sub-team develops its part of the overall project and will be supported by experienced advisors. The knowledge needed to elaborate a specific subtask will be taught in small workshops. The groups document their work in form of a paper and present their results together in a final presentation.
