- Course objectives
-
This is a first course digital communication systems.
The student will be able to understand and use signal
space ideas to carry out probability-of-error calculations
for various signaling schemes.
The student will be able to determine maximum bit rates for zero-intersymbol interference (ISI) regimes and for controlled ISI regimes.
The student will also be able to analyze the error-correcting and error-detecting capabilities of various
linear codes.
- Topics covered
-
Review of LTI systems, probability, and WSS Gaussian random processes.
-
Introduction to signal space ideas with application to
signaling over an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel; probability-of-error calculations.
