Présentation
Goal
The objective of this lecture is to introduce the fundamentals of wireless communications, and their implementation in broadly used applications. It explains the technologies and architectures involved in wireless transmission of analog and digital information, focusing on the latter case. The bases of electromagnetism and transmission lines are developped, as a prerequisite to antenna analysis.
Presentation
The course includes two complementary parts:
- The former deals with the fundamentals explaining the propagation of electrical signals along transmission lines. By extension to electromagnetism, this leads to antennas theory, whose operation and main characteristics (gain, radiation, ...) are developped. Link budget is finally studied, which shows the relation between emitted and received powers in case of a wireless transmission.
- The second part deals with applications: it shows how the above principles can be used to build a RF system, such as cellular phone communications. The following topics are studied:
- multiple access techniques to optimise the use of radio channels,
- influence of noise and linearity on RF system performances,
- IQ modulation for digital wireless communications,
- basic functions in the architecture of a RF transmitter or receiver,
- frequency synthesizer operation.
