ECE 4670 - Digital Communication System Design

Fall. 4 credits. Letter grades only.

Prerequisite: ECE 3100. Prior or concurrent completion of ECE 3250 recommended. Culminating design experience (CDE) course.

C. Studer.

The goal of this course is to understand how state-of-the-art digital communication systems are designed and why they are designed in the way they are. The course will cover communication theory, transceiver algorithms that enable reliable communication, wireless channels, and modern communication standards (such as 3GPP LTE and WiFi). The students will design a working audio-band communication system that relies on orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM).
