SYEN 4353 - Advanced Digital Communications

Three hours lecture. Three credit hours.

In-depth examination of wireless digital communication design strategies. Topics covered include digital modulation, radiowave 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, method for mitigating wireless channel impairments, perform system simulations, BER and channel models, predict system performance and evaluate trade-offs, list TDMA and CDMA techniques, and 3G evolution, describe design issues for wireless systems, particularly those issue in which transmit and receive implementation affect system performance. Dual listed in the Graduate Catalog as SYEN 5353.

Prerequisites: SYEN 3154 and SYEN 3354.
