Course description and aims

 The course focuses on applications of signal processing to wireless digital communications such as equalization, adaptive array antennas, and interference cancellation. In addition, adaptive algorithms, which estimate parameters of these items, are detailed.
 A major aim of the lecture is to help students gain a deep understanding of important transmission techniques for wireless digital communications.

Student learning outcomes

Major aims of this course are as follows:
1) To be able to deeply understand principles of equalization, adaptive array antennas, and interference cancellation as signal processing techniques.
2) To be able to deeply comprehend principles of adaptive algorithms that estimate parameters of the above items.

Keywords

Wireless Communications, Signal Models, Wireless Channels, Wiener Filters, LMS, RLS, Kalman Filters, Adaptive Equalizers, Frequency Domain Equalization, Diversity Techniques, Turbo Code, Turbo Equalization, Adaptive Array Antenna, MIMO, Space Time Coding, Precoding

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

After the instructor's explanations using handouts, students are required to solve problems.
