WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS

ECE 736
Course Description

Theory, design and analysis of mobile wireless communication systems from a signal processing perspective. Emphasis on code-division multiple-access (CDMA) systems employing direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DS-SS) signaling. Topics include characterization of mobile wireless channels, demodulation of DS-SS signals, diversity techniques, interference suppression methods, and low-complexity adaptive receivers. Knowledge of probability [such asE C E 730] and digital communication [such asE C E 437] strongly encouraged.
