Learning Outcomes
Competences
Students know and understand the fundamentals of digital communication systems qualitatively and mathematically. They are able to apply this knowledge to design and analyze digital communication systems.
Skills Knowledge
Students are able to

  • explain and apply linear and nonlinear modulation schemes (k2,k3)
  • explain and design optimum and sub-optimum receivers for different channel types (k2,k3)
  • explain and design an optimum non-coherent receiver for an AWGN channel (k2,k3)
  • explain and derive a least-square channel estimator (k2,k3)
  • explain and apply machine learning for digital communication systems (k2,k3)
  • analyze digital communication systems using different performance metrics (k3,k4)
  • explain the principles of state-of-the-art digital communication systems (k2)
  • Linear and nonlinear modulation schemes
  • Optimum and sub-optimum coherent receiver for AWGN and ISI channels
  • Optimum non-coherent receiver for AWGN channel
  • Least-square channel estimation
  • Machine learning for digital communication systems
  • Performance metrics (error performance, bandwidth efficiency, ...)
  • State-of-the-art digital communication systems: orthogonal division multiplexing (OFDM), molecular communications
