Course Thumbnail
This fall graduate ECE course follows its prerequisite EE521,
and uses the second half of the same text.
Topics include link analysis, channel coding including LDPC codes from
instructor-supplied materials, synchronization, multiple access, spread
spectrum and encryption. Click here for a full
course synopsis in PDF format.
Your text has a CD-ROM with the Student Version of
SystemView inside the back cover. Make
sure that this CD-ROM is there when you buy your text, particularly if it is
a used book. If your CDROM is missing
or damaged, contact me ASAP.
Session format, subject to evolution as the class
proceeds, is three periods:
·
Instructor presents examples and homework from
last time, and go through homework and examples; about an hour
·
Short break
·
Instructor presents material and assign
readings and homework for next time; about an hour
·
Seminar session; course topics discussion,
student presentation, term project milestone presentation, or other topics
·
When a quiz is given, it will follow the break
instead of a lecture about new material
