By the end of the module students should be able to:

• Demonstrate understanding of the basic properties of radiated electromagnetic waves and antennas.
• Manipulate the interactions of transmission line circuit components and antennas.
• Perform a detailed analysis and describe the measurement process of antennas and high frequency circuits used in communications systems.
• Describe digital base‐band and pass‐band signals and modulation ‐ demodulation methods and techniques;
• Explain the basic principles behind communications, and specifically wireless systems;
• Analyse the major parameters and architectures of modern communication systems.
