MODERN COMMUNICATION THEORY AND PRACTICE

Credit Hours: 3 · Graduate

This is an upper-level course in digital communications, which is designed to prepare students for engineering work in high-tech industries and for graduate work in communications, signal processing, and computer systems. The course covers basic concepts and useful tools for design and performance analysis of transmitters and receivers in the physical layer of a communication system, including multiple antenna MIMO systems. A hands-on laboratory using a state-of-the-art radio testbed illustrates course concepts. Additional coursework required beyond the undergraduate course requirements.
