SYEN 5353 - Advanced Digital Communications

Three hours lecture. Three credit hours.

This course provides an in-depth examination of wireless digital communication design strategies. Topics covered include digital modulation, radio wave propagation characteristics, signal detection methods, BER performance improvement and simulation techniques, RF/hardware architectures, migration path for modulation and demodulation techniques, signal processing building blocks for wireless systems, methods for mitigating wireless channel impairments, perform system simulations, BER and channel models, predict system performance and evaluate tradeoffs, list TDMA and CDMA techniques, and 3G evolution, describe design issues for wireless systems, particularly those issues in which transmit and receive implementation affect system performance.

Prerequisites: SYEN 3354 or consent of the instructor.
