Digital Communications. 3 credits

Catalog description

To reduce digital communication systems to practice, impairments induced during transmission must be mitigated. This course addresses the problems that must be addressed when implementing digital communication systems, including synchronization in time, frequency, and phase, and channel equalization. Additionally, modern techniques for achieving high power and bandwidth-efficiency, including multi-carrier modulation (OFDM), multi-channel systems (MIMO), and adaptive modulation, are discussed. Examples are drawn from current generation cellular, satellite, and terrestrial communication systems. Offered by Electrical & Comp. Engineering . May not be repeated for credit.
