Prerequisite

• EEL 5544 (Probability and Random Processes)

Course Description

The course is divided into two parts. The first part describes, in detail, some common digital modulation and demodulation techniques, which form the basis of digital communications. The second part presents a survey of various advanced topics, such as synchronization, equalization, diversity reception, and error control coding. The combination of the two parts aims to provide a solid introduction to modern digital communication theory.

Course Goals

• To provide a basic understanding of digital communications
• To motivate and facilitate further reading, investigation, and research on digital communications

Course Topics

1. Review of random variables and processes
2. Modulation and demodulation
3. Synchronization
4. Intersymbol interference and equalization
5. Elementary error control coding (if time allows)
