Course Description:
This course includes some fundamental and current techniques
on wireless digital communications, such as wireless channel
modeling, antenna diversities, modem and equalization techniques,
OFDM systems, and
multiple access methods including TDMA, FDMA and CDMA systems,
and finally two recent cellular mobile communication standards:
GSM and IS-95.
Contents:
- Wireless communication channel modeling includes a basic
treatment of radio propagation, such as envelop fading, Doppler
spread, time delay spread, shadowing, and path loss, and
antenna directional and omnidirectional fundamentals and radiation
patterns.
- Digital modulation-demodulation (MODEM) techniques
includes pulse shaping for ISI-free band-limited transmission,
and adaptive
channel equalization algorithms, such as LMS equalizer, zero-forcing equalizer,
and decision feedback equalizer, and OFDM systems.
- Convolutional codes and Viterbi decoding algorithm and trellis coded
modulation (TCM).
- Antenna diversities and space-time coding.
- Basics of multiple access methods includes time division multiple
access (TDMA), frequency division multiple access (FDMA)
and code division multiple access (CDMA) systems.
IS-95.
