Course Description:
This course teaches the
fundamentals of digital communication that are the foundation for many of the
techniques employed in the generation of spread spectrum waveform. These
include pseudo-random codes, modulation and demodulation techniques,
synchronization, statistical distributions, direct sequence (DS) and frequency
hopping (FH) spread spectrum, and capacity calculation for a CDMA system.
Students gain an overview of wireless architecture, spread spectrum
communication, statistical distributions used in wireless communication, design
of optimum receivers, calculation of theoretical capacity of a CDMA system,
coding and decoding processes in CDMA, effects of interference in CDMA, and
synchronization in CDMA wireless communication systems. 3G wireless systems
using CDMA technologies are also studied in this course.
Course Objectives:
Upon completing this course student should be able to:
- Understand the architecture and elements of a spread-spectrum system and a CDMA system
- Understand the characteristics of spread-spectrum signal waveforms
- Apply their knowledge of communications technology to CDMA and wireless systems
- Understand the methods for spread-spectrum and CDMA system performance analysis
- Capture most recent development in CDMA and its role in 3G wireless systems
