Course/Module description:
This course focuses on the radio channel and its implications on system design. The course starts with models of the radio channel for systems in different environments, propagation in free space, multipath models, link budget, shadowing. Statistical descriptions of the (fading) channel for narrow band systems. Capacity of an AWGN channel and of fading channels. Diversity, methods to achieve it and the improvement it lends to signal quality. Capacity enhancement using multiple antennas (MIMO). Equalization.
Course/Module aims:
Familiarity with telephony systems, radio channel and online. Understanding randomness of the channel and its consequences on the rate of communication.
Learning outcomes - On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
