Intended learning outcomes (Knowledges, skills and competencies to be developed by the students)

This course unit contributes to the acquisition of competences in the analysis of circuits and telecommunications systems, knowledge and explanation of the theory associated to the electric and magnetic fields, the design, implementation and maintenance of communication systems involving different means of transmission and explanation of the operating principles of circuits present in telecommunications systems used in Electric Power Networks.
This Course also allows developing skills in signal processing and interpretation of uncertainties inherent in the measurement processes of physical quantities, as well as skills in the knowledge of basic concepts of wireless communication networks and Fiber Optics.
