MSE Master of Science in Engineering

The Swiss engineering master's degree

Chaque module vaut 3 ECTS. Vous sélectionnez 10 modules/30 ECTS parmi les catégories suivantes:

  • 12-15 crédits ECTS en Modules technico-scientifiques (TSM)
    Les modules TSM vous transmettent une compétence technique spécifique à votre orientation et complètent les modules de spécialisation décentralisés.
  • 9-12 crédits ECTS en Bases théoriques élargies (FTP)
    Les modules FTP traitent de bases théoriques telles que les mathématiques élevées, la physique, la théorie de l’information, la chimie, etc., vous permettant d’étendre votre profondeur scientifique abstraite et de contribuer à créer le lien important entre l’abstraction et l’application dans le domaine de l’innovation.
  • 6-9 crédits ECTS en Modules contextuels (CM)
    Les modules CM vous transmettent des compétences supplémentaires dans des domaines tels que la gestion des technologies, la gestion d’entreprise, la communication, la gestion de projets, le droit des brevets et des contrats, etc.

Wireless Communications (TSM_WireCom)

The module starts with the basics of the Physical and Data Link layers of advanced wireless systems.

Then the students will be exposed to the definition or functioning of a selection of the most important wireless standards at the present time. The focus will be on the physical layer and the medium-access layer.

Exercises will be used throughout the course to exemplify the use and application of the learnt material to compare the existing standards for a given problem in the context of the merits and limitations of each technology.

Compétences préalables

The students are expected to have knowledge on the basic modulation schemes including amplitude, frequency and phase.

They must also have studied the fundamentals of coding techniques.
Other required competences that may be acquired through personal work are statistics, probabilities, wave theory, Fourier analysis and the OSI reference model.

Objectifs d'apprentissage

The student will be able to

  • discriminate between the various advanced modulation, coding and transmission concepts and explain their benefits and limitations
  • explain the key characteristics of a selection of the most important wireless standards at the present time in regards to the Physical and Data Link layers
  • find specific information in the standardisation documents
  • select the most suitable wireless technology for a practical problem.
