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.
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.
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

To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
Any text books are not specified. Documents for the classes are distributed.

Marks are based on a terminal exam.
Note that when the online lecture is held, the terminal exam can be replaced by several reports.
To complete the lectures "Communication Systems" or "Digital Communications" is recommended.
