This course introduces a rigorous analytical treatment of modern digital communication systems, including digital modulation, demodulation, and optimal receiver design. Error performance analysis of these communication systems when operating over either noisy or band-limited channels will be conducted. Advanced topics to be covered include a subset of the following: MIMO, fading channels, multiuser communications, spread spectrum systems, and/or multicarrier transmission.
Prerequisites
An understanding of probability and random processes theory (ECE 502 or equivalent); an understanding of various analog and digital (de) modulation techniques (ECE 3311 or equivalent); familiarity with MAT-LAB programming.
