Abstract:
The course introduces the students to the basic standards, principles and technologies of mobile cell radio
networks. In view of the dynamic development of networks, students are also acquainted with recent research and
trends in the field. The course presents digital systems and technologies for mobile communications including their
architecture, interfaces and protocols, technologies, services and other details.
Course content:
Main characteristics of mobile cell radio networks (MCRN). Principles and standards. Signal spreading in MCRN.
Signal processing, encoding, decoding and multiplexing. Multiple access in MCRN. GSM Architecture. Signaling,
protocols, mobile stations. The TETRA MCRN. Data transfer in MCRN. High speed MCRN. Third generation
MCRN. Principles, architecture and services.
Teaching and assessment:
The 3 hours of lectures are conducted weekly, and the 4 hours of practical classes are conducted every 2 weeks.
Students prepare for the exercises, using the recommended literature. For each exercise students prepare and
present a report to the teacher. The exam consists of a written part only.

Abstract:
The Signal Processors course aims to familiarize the students of the Telecommunications Systems degree course
with the architecture of digital signal processors (DSP) as well as with integrated development environments for
simplifying DSP system configuration and application design. The subject is related to the subjects of Impulse and
Digital Devices, Microprocessor systems, Computer Architecture, Digital Signal Processing and to the diploma
project.
Course content:
Key features of the TMS320C54X DSP family. DSP architecture. Bus structure. Central processing unit. Memory
organization. Data addressing. Program memory addressing. Pipelining. On-chip peripherals. Serial ports. DSP
applications. DSP chip programming and design of digital filters, spectral analysis of low frequency analog signals,
analog-digital and digital-analog conversions, and pulse-wide-modulation.
Teaching and assessment:
Lectures concentrate mainly on the hardware, while the emphasis of the practical classes is on the development of
software for microprocessor systems based on DSP. Practical sessions are carried out in a computer laboratory
equipped with specialized demonstration boards and a DSP developing environment based on PC. At the
beginning of each laboratory exercise an entrance test is conducted to check students’ preparation. At the
beginning of the term each student is given an individual problem. It has to be presented and defended orally at
the end of term. Final mark is formed on the basis of 2 written tests.
