This course, which is part of the specialization module in Naval Technology, introduces the basic principles of radio communication, so much theoretical as practical.
During the course we will review the physical phenomena and technological developments that made possible the transmission of information using electromagnetic waves. We discuss the propagation of radio-waves, the organization of the radio-electric spectrum, the operation and design of antennas, and the design criteria for a radio link. Finally, we review the radio-communication systems in use nowadays, with focus on those used in the Navy.
