EE379A

Data Transmission Design is the first of a two-quarter sequence (leading to EE 379B) in MSEE communications depth sequence. Intended students are those interested in research or design of data transmission systems' lower layers. The course includes methods for transmission designs with and without coding and includes basic examples as well as their relationship to modern current/next-generation wireless and wireline transmission systems. The course also develops and uses information measures as generalizations of signal processing and minimum-mean-square-error estimation, developing design intution. Basic phase-locking and synchronization methods also appear. EE 379B progresses to multidimensional modulation methods and their use in modern and next-generation multiuser MIMO networks, along with network-design strategies.
