Networking and Antennas ENG316
Introduction
This unit studies and explores communication technology among multiple users. The layered network model will be discussed with emphasis on those widely applied such as wired and wireless networks in the real world. Both technical aspects of communication networks such as radio propagation and transmission line theory for antenna design, as well as significant applications around Internet of Things will be explored. Students will be exposed to networking technologies and hands-on experience on some critical hardware and system design aspects. This unit will enable students to be familiar with, explore, and appreciate modern communication networks and technology.

Learning Outcomes
- Apply principles of computer and data networks, including layered structure, protocol and its functionalities, administration and control.
- Design and apply typical wired or wireless data networks by identifying major technical features, technologies and functionalities for a particular application.
- Evaluate computer and data networks performance by experiments or simulation.
- Analyse wave propagation characteristics on distributed media to solve typical problems involving transmission lines in both the time and frequency domains.
