General description and relevant information La assignatura adreça, fonamentalment, tots els conceptes bàsics en comunicacions analògiques. Tot i que anem cap un mon digital, aquests conceptes son bàsics per entendre els pilars fonamentals de qualsevol sistema de comunicacions: diagrama de blocs, concepte de soroll i interferències, tipus de modulacions bàsiques, esquemes de circuits per emissors i receptors, el receptor superheterodí, etc.
In this subject you only have the right to make the exam, because the degree you are studying is going to be extinguished. You have to take a look the timetable of the subject to know the exam's date. If you need an extraordinary exam session, you have to enrol for this, presenting an application to the secretariat of your campus or faculty.
