Abstract:
The objective of the research work is to improve students’ knowledge and skills in the field of telecommunications.
The research work precedes the development of the diploma project.
Course content:
The topics of the research work are connected with the diploma thesis of the Master’s degree course. The
students are assigned engineering tasks in the filed of telecommunications.
Teaching and assessment:
The students receive the task at the beginning of the second semester and work in cooperation with their
supervisor. At the end of the semester they present and defend the results of their research work in front of the
whole group. They have to present their own solution to the problem specified in the assignment.

Abstract:
The Master Thesis is one of the main components of the master’s degree course in Telecommunication Systems.
It provides the following opportunities to the students completing the master’s degree course: to demonstrate their
abilities to plan and implement a considerable and original project in the field of telecommunications; to
demonstrate self-dependent work, initiative and professional competency. The Master Thesis is a solution to an
engineering problem which is developed under the supervision of a scientific advisor. The aim is to enable the
students to demonstrate the knowledge and skills gained during their education. The project has to be presented
and defended in front of a state board of examiners.
Course content:
The Master Thesis consists of a written report that comprises references, ideas, existing solutions to the problem,
analysis, calculations, descriptions and conclusions, a graphical part including the principal circuit diagrams of the
elements and devices, block and structural diagrams, charts presenting the tests’ results and a model or a
prototype made by the graduates.
Teaching and assessment:
The Department of Telecommunications is responsible for the organization of the approval and announcement of
the Master Thesis themes as well as for the supervision, review and public defence of the Master Thesis. The
students have tutorials with their supervisors during the development of the Master Thesis. The State Board of
Examiners assesses the project and the student’s defence with two separate grades.
