Course Objectives: This course aims to teach physical characteristics of wireless medium and several technologies that are specifically designed for transmission over wireless media. Specifically, the students will identify path loss, shadow fading, multi-path fading and diversity. Different wireless channel models will be introduced and their capacity will be analyzed. Students will have the knowledge of modern wireless technologies, such as multi-carrier modulation and OFDM, spread spectrum and CDMA, and multiple antenna systems.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1. Describe physical medium of a wireless channel,
2. Explain path loss, shadowing and multi-path fading,
3. Describe the effects of time, frequency and space diversity,
4. Gain knowledge on combining techniques,
5. Apply capacity analysis to wireless channel models,
6. Explain multi-carrier modulation and OFDM,
7. Describe the advantages of spreading the spectrum and CDMA,
8. Gain knowledge of multiple antenna systems and MIMO technology
9. Have a broad understanding of multi-user systems
