DSP for Communication Systems

EC ENGR 830.70

This course emphasizes the DSP technology used in modern communication systems.

What you can learn.

Compute engineering functions with modern DSP techniques
Master and visualize DSP methods using MATLAB
Analyze communication systems using multirate filters, I-Q sampling, sigma-delta modulators and more
Understand the transition from analog hardware use to digital methods

About this course:

This course addresses how to implement engineering functions in a cost-effective way by using computational means instead of analog hardware. Instruction emphasizes communication systems, where traditional applications, such as modulation/demodulation, channelization, channel equalization, synchronization, and frequency synthesis, are now being implemented with new digital signal processing techniques to achieve high performance. The course analyzes these techniques, including multirate filters, I-Q sampling, sigma-delta modulators, and conversion between I-Q and real signals. The course focuses on real-world systems using modern DSP methods and illustrates all concepts with MATLAB demonstrations that are distributed to participants.
