Digital Communications
Explore characterization of baseband and passband communication signals and channels, digital modulation, and pulse shaping; optimum receivers in additive white Gaussian noise including matched-filtering, ML, and MAP detection and their bit error probability for M-ary modulation; inter-symbol interference channels, FIR and IIR equalization, multicarrier modulation, OFDM and frequency domain equalization. Introduction to information theory, channel capacity, error control codes, and ML sequence detection (Viterbi decoding). Examine applications to stationary wireless and wireline channels. Electrical and Computer Engineering 381K (Topic 2) and Electrical Engineering 381K (Topic 2) may not both be counted.
