Learning outcomes
At the end of the course, students will be able to apply principles of digital communication systems, both narrowband and wideband, working in wired and wireless channels. Moreover, students will be able to analyze third and fourth generation cellular systems (UMTS/LTE).
Course contents
- Introduction to wireless systems.
- Elements of detection, estimation and digital transmission theory.
- The wireless channel. Performance evaluation in the presence of co-channel interference and fading. Countermeasures techniques (adaptive equalization, diversity).
- Introduction to multiple antenna systems (multiple-input multiple-output, MIMO).
- Cellular communications: frequency reuse, multiple access techniques, spread spectrum techniques, multi-carrier modulation (OFDM).
- Third and fourth generation cellular systems.
Seminars on GSM, UMTS, LTE, and DVB-T standards.
