About SatCom and Projekt Amateurfunk

Project Satellite Communication/Projekt Amateurfunk is a cooperation between the Chairs of High-Frequency-Technology and Space Technology at TU Berlin. Students from the international Master of Space Engineering and german bachelor degree programs, primarily Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering, cooperate in realizing one or multiple projects in the field of satellite communication. Each group or sub-team develops its part of the overall project and will be supported by experienced advisors. The basic knowledge needed to approach the project will be taught in a few lectures at the beginning of the course. In addition to this, students are required to extend their knowledge independently according to their assigned work package throughout the semester. The groups record their work in form of technical documents, a project report and present their results together in a final presentation.

This ISIS course is just a general placeholder and info point because the project is fully managed via GitLab: https://git.tu-berlin.de/beegnd/satcom23/ and the TU Matrix: https://chat.tu-berlin.de . The grades will be logged in ISIS or MOSES.

Disclaimers

• We are open to all interested and motivated students, however due to the character of an interdisciplinary project and the limited teaching capacity we cannot guarantee participation for all students in case of higher than usual demand. Usually we do not reject students, but should this be required MSE, EE and CE students will be prioritized according to the rules of TU Berlin.
  
• Its not a lecture to teach you everything about Amateur Radio (you're probably looking for the AfuTUB-Kurs in this case) or satellite communications and is focused on autonomous work guided by student-assistants. We'll give you a coarse path to follow but you have to take this path yourself together with your interdisciplinary team.
• Please be aware that due to the hands-on and teamwork nature of this course, hybrid/online participation is not possible.
  
• For German students we recommend starting your SatCom journey with AfuTUB-Kurs 1: Grundlagen during the winter semester. If you decide to take AfuTUB-Kurs 2: Aufbau Technik afterwards, this project is a perfect add-on for your summer semester.
  
• Teaching and working language is English.
• There will be a number of different work packages per semester including electrical, computer, radio-frequency and mechanical engineering as well as project management. You should have sound knowledge of at least one of those topics to contribute to your team's work.
• Playing with tech is fun, documentation is pain. You're supposed to have both: the fun part and the pain part. Be aware of that.
