Content
  • Introduction to digital communication systems
  • Random signals, modulations and detection
  • Coherent and noncoherent demodulation
  • Basics of Information theory
  • Convolutional codes
  • Adaptive modulation and coding
  • Equalization (Linear and decision-feedback)
  • Synchronization (time, frequency and phase)
Teaching methods
The cours is organized as follows
  • 14 lectures
  • 6-7 exercice sessions
  • A project based on Matlab simulations, carried out in groups of 2 students. The project is supervised and  takes the equivalent of 6-7 exercice sessions. The project starts around April and lasts until the last week of the semester.
Evaluation methods
The project is evaluated through a written report as well as a presentation by the students, followed by oral discussion on the results of the project. 
The students are also evaluated individually with a written examination, based on the objectives described earlier. The examination is open-book and mostly based on exercices applying the different studied concepts.
