Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1. Describe digital communications,

2. Explain signal space representation,

3. Describe digital modulation schemes,

4. Gain knowledge noise calculations,

5. Understand single-user detection theory.

Course Content

This course starts with reviewing concepts of sampling, quantization and encoding. Then, it moves to source and channel coding, signal space representation, and digital modulation schemes. Upon visiting digital demodulation schemes, performance analysis of different schemes are carried out. In the second half of the course, basic estimation and detection techniques are introduced. Finally, the course ends with fading channel analysis.
