ENEE 623 - Communication Theory I

[3]

A review of the Shannon capacity of the discrete-time additive Gaussian channel. Continuous-time additive Gaussian channels. Elementary signal design principles, baseband and passband pulse amplitude modulation, matched filtering, geometric representation of signals and optimum receivers. Orthogonal signaling and performance analysis, Shannon capacity, reliability function and cut-off rate. RS and BCH codes. Hard- and soft-decision decoding. Capacity approaching codes. Signaling in the band-limited region, Shannon capacity, pulse shaping, lattice codes, trellis codes, multi-level coding and constellation shaping. Equalization and precoding for linear Gaussian channels, waterfilling, multi-carrier signaling. Additional topics: signaling in fading media, multi-sensor and multi-user communications, synchronization.
