525.795 Advanced Communications Laboratory
This course offers the student an opportunity for hands-on experience with advanced digital signal processing techniques used in modern mobile communications systems. Topics include automatic gain control, synchronization and carrier phase estimation, channel and source coding, and frequency-selective channel equalization. Assignments will focus primarily on Matlab programming of various receiver signal processing methods.
Prerequisites: 525.427, 525.414, and 525.416 (or equivalent advanced undergraduate/first year graduate courses in Digital Signal Processing, Stochastic Processes, and Communication Systems). Basic concepts of communication and linear systems, transforms, and probability theory are required.
