Digital Signal Processing
DESCRIPTION
This core subject provides tools to design communications systems from the point of view of transmission of information. Different ways to implement these systems and to send information in signal form are described, based on analog and digital modulations. Capabilities and limitations of different modulation types are studied, together with the effects of both channel and system itself upon the final quality of the communication. This leads to design tradeoffs which are common in engineering, regarding requirements about power, bandwidth, bit rate, etc.
Course will consist of 60hrs of in class work and 90 hrs of independent work outside the classroom.
