Time and Place
The course is scheduled for 4 hours per week:
- Tuesday, 10:10--12:00, Engineering Building IV, Room 111
- Thursday, 15:40--17:30, Engineering Building IV, Room 111
Course Objectives
The major goal of Principles of Communication Engineering (I,II) is to
teach students about the basic principles underlying the operation and
design of a communication system. It is a core course in the
Department of Communication Engineering. The course will follow
approximately the following schedule:
- Passband Digital Transmission (Chapter 6)
- Spread Spectrum Modulation (Chapter 7)
- Multiuser Radio Communications (Chapter 8)
- Fundamental Limits in Information Theory (Chapter 9)
- Error-Control Coding (Chapter 10)
We expect a student who
finishes the course to be able to understand the basic operating
principles of current communication systems or standards. Moreover, we
sincerely hope that a student who learns the course material will be
equipped with the ability to analyze and design a communication
system.
Prerequisites
- Signals and Systems (preferably)
- Probability (preferably)
- Principles of Communication Engineering I (preferably)

Grading
Your grade will be an average of
- your homework (15%)
- the midterm exam (35%)
- the final exam (50%)
The grade of your homework will not be based on the correctness of
your answers, but rather the effort you show in trying to solve
them. To pass the course there is the additional condition that
at least 10 exercises have to be handed in.
This course is worth 3 credits.
