This course is meant to provide a strong foundation for further study, research and industry practice in the area of communications. The main objective of the course is to learn the engineering principles and analytical techniques required to design reliable high-speed digital communication systems. In particular, the focus of this class is the reliable transmission and reception of finite-alphabet (i.e. digital) symbols over time-invariant linear dispersive channels with noise. Doing so, a...
