307639 (v.1) Digital Signal Processing for Wireless Communications 602


 

Area:

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering

Credits:

25.0

Contact Hours:

2.5

Lecture:

1 x 2 Hours Weekly

Tutorial:

1 x 1 Hours Fortnightly

Co Requisite(s):

11330 (v.4) Digital Communications Engineering 601 or any previous version
AND
11341 (v.4) Stochastic Processes for Telecommunications Systems 601 or any previous version

Syllabus:

Random signal theory, signal modeling, Wiener filtering, spectrum estimation (nonparametric and parametric), adaptive filtering (Steepest descent, LMS (least mean squared), RLS (recursive least squares)). Selected topics from Adaptive Equalization or Multiuser Communications: Adaptive linear equalization, adaptive decision-feedback equalization and blind equalization. Multiple access, CDMA (code division multiple access), Optimum receiver, Suboptimum receivers (decorrelator, MMSE (minimum mean squarederror)), Performance characteristic of detectors.
 

Unit Outcomes:

Upon completion of this unit students will be able to - Know how to model a signal efficiently using different models. Design an optimum linear filter to estimate a signal from a noisy measurement. Perform spectrum estimation using high resolution methods. Apply the knowledge acquired to such applications as Equalization and CDMA in communications.
