Course Objectives

Upon the completion of the course, the student should be able to:

• Characterize the wireless channel, including path loss for different environments, random

log-normal shadowing and multipath fading.

• Examine the fundamental capacity limits of wireless channels and the characteristics of

the capacity-achieving transmission strategies.

• Evaluate practical digital modulation techniques and their performance under wireless channel

• Understand ways to improve the speed and performance of wireless links.

• Design and performance of adaptive modulation and diversity techniques

• Apply equalization, multicarrier modulation, and spread spectrum.

• Study the multiple access capabilities of spread spectrum with multiuser detection.
