Syfte

The purpose of the course is to provide a deep understanding of the subject digital communications. Wireless communications is an area that has seen a rapid growth during the recent past. This is reflected well in the department’s research which is dominated by various aspects of wireless communications and span across many different sub-areas. A few examples are circuit design, pure theoretical research, antenna design and network solutions. Nevertheless, the scientific basis of wireless communications is digital communications. A solid basis and skills in this subject is of major importance for a large fraction of the department’s doctoral students.

Kursens undervisningsformer

Undervisningsformer: Föreläsningar, övningar, projekt. At the exercise classes, the Ph.D. student should present and discuss solutions to the home assignments at the white board. The project is carried out individually and lets the Ph.D. student deep study a sub-area.

Kursens examination

Examinationsformer: Inlämningsuppgifter, seminarieföredrag av deltagarna. 80% attendance is required at the excercise classes. The Ph.D. students receives a list of problems to be solved each week, and all of those must be handed in correctly to obtain a passing grade. The course is concluded with an additional set of problems that must be solved. A 90 minute presentation of the chosen sub-area should also be delivered. Remaining course participants must attend these presentations.
