Course contents
The course aims at laying the foundation for the design and characterization of modern digital wireless communication systems.
At the end of the course, the student will be able to dimension a wireless link. For example, he/she will be able to evaluate the wireless system error rate, the maximum link distance, the minimum transmission power, etc.
The summary of the themes covered along the course is provided in the following.
- Introduction to modern telecommunication systems
- Link budget
- Base band digital transmission systems
- Band pass digital transmission systems: L-ASK and M-QASK modulations
- The wireless channel
- Band pass noise and its impact on digital systems
- Digital telecommunication systems performance
- Current and next wireless communication systems.
