4 semester hoursUndergraduateLectureusually offered: falltypical days: TBostonTraditional
Covers the basic principles and building blocks of modern digital communication systems. These systems include the current and future generations of wireless services (e.g., 6G) and are predicted to become a multi-billion-dollar market in the next decade. Industrial giants at the forefront of related research and development include market-leading hardware and software companies, offering an increasing scope of employment opportunities. Includes the background of developments such as radio signal propagation, frequency spectrum regulation and resource division among multiple users, digital representation and compression of information, signal modulation and demodulation, information detection in the presence of noise and channel impairments, coding for improved reliability, and system performance analysis and simulation.
