EECE 5430 Communication Theory

Course Description:

This course presents a general analysis of modern digital and analog communications systems at the first year graduate level. We start with fundamentals of analog modulation AM, FM, PM, because digital modulation is just a special case of generalized analog modulation, especially in how the waveforms look in time and frequency. Next we cover digital modulation ASK, PSK, FSK and QAM plus some commonly used variants, CPFSK, MSK, GMSK, OQPSK, and includes a discussion of pulse shaping for band limited channels and techniques for bit and carrier synchronization. The last section covers basics of spread spectrum and OFDM technology used in 3rd and 4th generation wireless systems.

Course Prerequisites: 1) Undergraduate Signals and Systems EECE 3620 or equivalent, 2) Undergraduate Probability and Random Processes EECE 3630 or EECE 5840 or equivalent.

Room: : Thursday 1830-21:30
